Dimapur, July 20 (MExN): The NSCN-IM doesn’t want Goa Governor Dr SC Jamir to do anything with the Indo-Naga talks. The Government of India should keep him away since he would only do more damage as in the past than help the cause, an NSCN-IM MIP issue stated.
“Having exposed himself as the most outspoken political personality with venomous anti-Naga sting by way of authoring the most controversial booklet entitled ‘Bedrock of Naga Society’ where he twisted and distorted every piece of historical facts to demean and to denigrate the undeniable existence of the political underground force under NSCN leadership, the chance of Jamir getting such unwarranted status as ‘negotiator or mediator,’ is extremely remote” it stated.
“In the heat of the political atmosphere in New Delhi where things are doing round about the likely induction of the Goa Governor S.C Jamir as a Cabinet Minister to eventually facilitate his role in the scheme of things, vis-à-vis the Indo-Naga peace talk, the absurdity of such political wisdom on the part of the Indian Government will cause uproarious drama and rejection” the NSCN-IM observed.
The NSCN-IM stated that Jamir also made clear that under no circumstances Indian Army units should be reduced or withdrawn from Nagaland. He was indicating that military solution should be used in tackling the Naga issue by which “he is favoring the very counter-revolutionary forces like Khaplang group, NNC/FGN” the MIP asserted.
New Delhi should do well not to bring “further insult” by bringing such a “controversial face” whose concern for the cause is “only symbolic,” the NSCN-IM stated. A mediator in any historically important political talk is a person with outstanding political credibility and impartiality which “Jamir failed to fit himself into the scheme of things.”
