Dimapur, August 12 (MExN): Some of the senior Naga Army officers and men from Konyak Region has clarified that Konyak Region and Konyak community have always stood strong in support of the Naga political right. “Our physical and moral contribution to the political struggle is second to none.”
A press note from the members stated that recently, owing to impeachment and expulsion of S.S Khaplang from NSCN, few vested elements created a slight confusion within ranks and file in Konyak region. “After thoroughly examining the transitional period, we understand that it was a very important decision and crucial for the Naga people. With his participation in the Burmese election, S.S Khaplang lost all interest in the Naga political issue. We know that Mr. Khaplang had become a shadow only very few people could see and communicate with. These people are responsible for creating undue commotion in Nagaland recently,” it added.
The note also said that they have realized that Wangtin Naga, in his seventh year stint in the National struggle, has clearly identified himself as an infant in Naga politics. As an educated man with college degree, they had expected him to assist Gen. Khole in fulfilling the vision of the Naga people. “He has played a very dirty policy to divide the Konyaks in particular and Nagas in general. We condemn him for betraying his mentor GPRN/NSCN President Gen.(Retd) Khole. We urge Mr. Wangtin Naga to either go to Burma in search of S.S Khaplang or surrender to the Indian government because his chameleon character will not help the Naga cause,” it alleged in the note.
Expressing further their discontentment over Wangtin, they stated that it is extremely unfortunate that Wangtin Naga tried his best to isolate GPRN/NSCN 'president Gen.'(Retd) Khole Konyak by misleading the Konyak people with unfounded allegations. It claimed that president Khole’s principle and commitment towards the Naga cause is unquestionable. He has rightly been honored by the NSCN National Assembly as Chairman of the NSCN party and President of the GPRN. We, along with our junior officers, NCO’s numbering more than seventy with equal number of arms have decided to serve the Naga nation faithfully under the leadership of ‘president gen.(Retd)’ Khole Konyak and ‘ato kilonser’ N Kitovi Zhimomi.
