DIMAPUR, SEPT 15 (MExN): Y. Wangtin Naga, Central Council Member of the NSCN (K) says that despite his open declaration before the Naga people for unification of all Nagas at the time of his joining the national struggle, the “ceaseless killing and deployment of secret mission command by Isak group for assassination of Naga leaders” made him change his mind. “I thought, even the factional clashes also should immediately be stopped, but I was so sorry to see the dying face of my leader Late Ngampan, Kilonser, murdered by secret mission of Isak group”, the Central Council Member stated in a press communiqué.
Wangtin stated that he was equally distressed to learn of the killing of A.K.D Angami, Imnung Jamir and Saloni, Angami Region Chairman NSCN (K), Education Kilonser NNC/FGN and Ex-Tatar of NNC respectively.
Pointing out that these four leaders had been assassinated within May-September of 2006, the NSCN (K) leader asked the NSCN (IM) to explain to the Nagas the purpose of their continued killing of Naga leaders for no cause “who after dropping sovereignty issue slipped down for integration but failed. Further engaged themselves in the issue of affiliation of private schools of four Naga district of Manipur to NBSE which faced another humiliation failure”, Wangtin stated.
Asking the leaders, “irrespective of factions” the benefit of killing Naga leaders from other factions, Wangtin stated that failure to explain to the Nagas the benefits of such killings, such leaders must resign from national service.
Wangtin stated that even the innocent Tangkhuls had failed to indict their leaders Th Muivah, VS Atem and Raising when they refused to unite with the Nagas. “If they really want to opt out from the process of peace and reconciliation”, the only alternative left for these leaders, Wangtin stated, was for them to leave the Nagas and Nagaland.
“They should first know how to love the Nagas and thereby adapt to Nagas way of life. They should stop fooling the Nagas that they will bring heaven down”, he stated.
Wangtin also disclosed that so far, 19 Konyak youths have joined the NSCN (K), after the assassination of Late Ngampang. Pointing out that their defection was of great significance, Wangtin stated that there was no place for killers in society and even cautioned any Konyak boys who killed any Konyak leaders or even the other Naga leaders under no circumstances will they be excused either by the NSCN (K) or by the Konyak community, “because Konyaks are peace loving people”.
Stating that the most important thing was to win the confidence of “our brothers” in national politics, Wangtin maintained that even if the NSCN (IM) leaders planned to destroy the entire Naga nationalist who oppose their system, their age factor will not permit them to do it. “Don’t let your generation curse you even after you die. Hope you will know where you are and what you are”.
