Dimapur, April 25 (MExN): The NSCN-IM makes an appeal to “give our past mistakes a healing touch” for the truth that ‘to err is human and to forgive is divine.’ Rather than spawning hatred and division between family brethren, a brighter, better tomorrow would be the outcome should a “rational conscience” be used, it explains.
The NSCN-IM called for “reason with rational conscience” and positive contributions rather than search for destructive “avenues” to create communal dissentions and discord. “Our actions today will mould (sic) our future destiny and so we have to prudently cultivate positive mindsets with vision for a better and brighter tomorrow. Following the maxim to err is human, to forgive is divine,’ let us give our past mistakes a healing touch and take civilized approaches than spawning hatred, division and vengeance in between brothers of a family” an MIP note stated.
On the NNC the NSCN-IM pointed out that it had compromised itself ‘conditionally into Indian state union’ under the Shillong Accord and entered into transit peace camps. “Delving into the dawn of fratricidal killings, the accordists may explain why they had to kill so many innocent Naga people who denounced the treacherous Shillong Accord. It was the birth of the NSCN that the Naga political aspiration was resuscitated and rescued” the NSCN-IM maintained adding that through its effort the uniqueness and political situation of the Nagas is acknowledged by India.
Meanwhile the NSCN-IM clarifies to an article appearing in a section of the local media on April 25, ‘No Brigadier in NNC,’ that “the NSCN-IM when referred to NNC implied of the new NNC that did not join the Transit peace campers.” That the NNC does not have “brigadiers” as asserted because “Brigadier” Siesou and his personnel do not hail from their fold but “the new NNC” an NSCN-IM note stated adding that the claim that Ayo is “colonel” is also false against his status of being “2nd Lieutenant.” He is physically handicapped due to his hearing problem and weak eye-sight renders him unfit for ‘their false rank claims,’ it asserted. So the article is nothing but to defame the “brigadier,” it added.
