DIMAPUR, MAY 23 (MExN): The GPRN/NSCN today voiced out against “callous and factually incorrect write-ups...”
A press note from the MIP of the GPRN/NSCN alleged that the NSCN (IM) “continues to feed the people of Nagaland with outrageous political assumptions more so, post August 3 Accord 2015.” It accused the NSCN (IM) of trying to subject the tribes of Nagaland to “ever changing political terminologies with a hope that a lie told many times over would, in the end, be taken as the truth.” It stated that it required the “prompt response from GPRN/NSCN because the future of the Naga people cannot be built upon lies and deceit.
It further refuted allegations that the Ato Kilonser of the GPRN/NSCN, N Kitovi Zhimomi has “changed tracks in the Naga Reconciliation process.”
Stating that the Forum for Naga Reconciliation (FNR), with the signing the Covenant of Reconciliation by Naga political groups, has “officially recorded all highest level meetings for posterity,” the GPRN/NSCN asked the NSCN (IM) to check visual and audio recordings of speeches made by NSCN (IM) General Secretary, Th Muivah and GPRN/NSCN Ato Kilonser, N Kitovi Zhimomi at 4th Mile Dimapur Agri Expo meeting in February 2012. It further asked the NSCN (IM) to look at recordings of the Niathu Resort meetings in 2012-13, and the Oriental Theological Seminary (OTS) meetings in 2013-14.
The Naga Reconciliation process, it lamented, “lost its momentum because of the non-disclosure of the charter of demands of NSCN (IM) despite repeated appeal for honest deliberations on the subjects by Naga leaders from other political groups.”
The GPRN/NSCN further reminded the Government of India that the present Nagaland state is “not a discarded land inhabited by fools to allow every Toni, Dick and Harry to claim ownership.” “It belongs to indigenous Naga tribes with clear demarcated boundary with great loyalty to their ancestral homeland. Naga tribes live in peace and harmony and co-exist with communities of neighbouring states...the parties trying to decide the future of Nagaland without the consent of the people should clearly know the ramifications,” it cautioned.
