Dimapur, February 18 (MExN): The Eastern Naga National Government (ENNG) has condemned the statement of Col. Isak Sumi from NSCN (K) criticising the formation of ENNG.
It stated that President of NSCN (K), SS Khaplang, was “manipulated by Indian NES, NPGs and other ethnic groups by their wrong political philosophy.”
The ENNG stated in a press note today that when Manipur was attacked on June 4, 2015, Khaplang was in Rangoon on medical treatment and “nobody knows how he was appointed as a President of UNLFSWA and his Organization forced into bandh for the period of 5 years.”
This, the ENNG stated, has resulted in the “failure of entire Naga National politics and loss of many of the Naga youth without any authentic reason and price.”
As per information collected by the ENNG about the NSCN (K) “factionaries” around the world and within the Eastern Nagaland states, “there is no development” nor any “External Affairs nor internal Affairs activities are seen so far during the last 50 (fifty) years of Naga revolution.” The experience of Naga national solidarity, the ENNG maintained, had been “destroyed beyond imagination” for the “general public of Eastern Nagaland,” apart from strangulating the economy of the Naga people through “forceful collection of taxes and extortions.”
The ENNG stated that the people of Eastern Nagaland are “perishing under the pressure” of “opium addiction and drugs trafficking and lack of quality education and technology skills.”
While asking Col. Isak Sumi if the entire NSCN (K) armies are “against the ENNG,” the ENNG said that it is not “demanding independence from NSCN (K) or from you.” Finding “extremely annoying” the allegations made against them, the ENNG maintained that Nagas should “seriously observe” the “nature and behaviour” of the national workers to see if that they are working to bring peace and “not for their selfish interest.”
