DIMAPUR, SEPT 13 (MExN): Reacting to the accusations leveled against Grace Lyu Collins by the NSCN (K), the NSCN (I-M) today said: “Through media and activities, Khaplang philosophy of nationalism has been sufficiently revealed in itself of their fallacy. People no more have taste for shameful media propagandas, libels or defamations.”
The MIP of the NSCN (I-M) clarified that Grace Collins is a resource person at the Geneva United Nations World Human Rights Commission. The Yaruiwo of the organization Isak Chishi Swu met Grace during a conference of the United Nations Human Rights Commission held at Geneva in 2003, where he tabled “the Indo-Naga issue and the human rights violations being committed by the Indian agencies upon the Naga people,” the MIP release said. “It was through this introduction of the Naga people’s plight that first captured the attention of Grace Collins that led to further intense interactions and earned her sympathies for the Naga people’s sufferings.”
The organization further said that it was through ‘the friends of the Nagas’ that it could be declared in the international forum that “India had violated 25 human rights violations in Nagalim, out of the 30 United Nations charters of Human Rights violations.”
Maintaining that they do not pay the friends of the Nagas “for what they are sacrificing for us, but we owe to them the gratitude of at least thanking and praying and them,” the NSCN (I-M) appealed, “It is the sincere appeal of the GPRN to all well-wishers and friends of the Nagas that whatever vulgarity of unfounded accusations issued by the Khaplang group should be ignored in its entirety because it does not represent the sentiments or thoughts of the Nagas.”
The release also questioned, “If the Khaplang people are in their right frame of mind and truly fighting for the Naga people’s cause, why would they condemn, criticize, threaten, insult or issue libels against all the Civil societies, friends of the Naga and International communities who are tirelessly working for the Nagas’ cause by unveiling the truth?”
