Dimapur, August 31 (MExN): The GPRN/NSCN has accused the NSCN (Khaplang) of practicing “slavery”, using Nagas as “labourer” to ‘carry baggage for several arms groups form Manipur, Assam without paying even a penny of wages.’
“The GPRN/NSCN informs Khaplang to stop using Nagas in Myanmar as potters, forceful labour which is claimed to be president directive. Nagas have been used and treated in the status of donkeys under the directive of Khaplang, forced to carry baggage’s etc for several arms groups from Manipur, Assam etc without paying even a penny of wages. Eastern Nagas are being ‘enslaved and discriminated inhumanly to serve as potters’. Under the shadow of Khaplang’s dictating directive various arm groups from NE states are being sheltered, given safe haven and base at the cost of ‘blood and tears’ of innocent Nagas. Which can no longer be tolerated come what may,” a note from the ‘MIP’ of the GPRN/NSCN stated.
The group also accused the Khaplang-led NSCN faction of restricting the movement of eastern Nagas towards western Nagaland even for the purpose of education.
“Since the Nagas living in Myanmar have no proper schooling facilities or accessible to amenities. They still come to Nagaland for education however; the Khaplang’s directive restricting the movement of eastern Nagas towards western Nagaland even for the purpose of education is completely illogical of sick mind-set,” the note said. “However, with the winds of revolutionize, it is anticipated that the Nagas in those area will be able to have a very noteworthy impact in future.”
