Dimapur, Jan 25 (MExN): The NSCN-IM says the decision of the Chakhesang Public Organization (CPO) to abide by the NNC is not “holistic in nature” and the Chakhesang community is not satisfied. The NSCN-IM is responding to the statement made by former NLA Speaker Z Lohe on the said decision, and terms it as “immature” and ‘biased’ in every manner.
“It is not but the outcome of decisions made by few individuals with vested interests” stated a response from NSCN-IM Deputy Kilonser of “War Victim Welfare” Venuzo Zholia. The decision of the CPO to abide by the NNC without siding with any particular faction is not holistic in nature for which the Chakhesang publics are not satisfied and till date no single community, NGO or people’s organization have unanimously voiced their support to any particular group/organization as done by the CPO, if Lohe’s statement is true, the NSCN-IM stated. “The decisions and propagandas of the 1994 (in this regard) had become a thing of the past that cannot be put to use in today’s affair which is stranded with complex issues. All NGOs or people’s organization in today’s world propagates and practices neutrality and CPO is not exceptional” the Deputy Kilonser pointed out.
The rejoinder also expressed surprise that a person of Lohe’s stature would term the Naga political issues as “exams”. The Naga political issue is one calling for retaining the birthright of the Nagas, the process for which needs mass-support and cannot be solved or ended by vested interests of an individual or an organization, the NSCN-IM stated.
“What was the result of the exam given by the NNC? The Shillong Accord? The 16-Point Agreement? Are those you accept? If not, are the NNC going to sit for the exams once more?” the NSCN-IM queried in reply to the assertion of Lohe that the ‘NSCN is now sitting for an exam. The chapter of the NNC was sealed with the Shillong Accord on November 11, 1975 and thereafter although it exists, it is now like a ship without a radar so the Nagas need to study the political issue with wisdom, it added.
