The Khiamniungan Region of the NSCN-IM has said that under the circumstances where the Nagas are being put in a confusing situation "we the Khiamniungan people refused to be guided by such rumours planted by the so-called unification team desperately trying to create conflict of interests between chairman Isak Chishi Swu & gen secy. Th. Muivah in the name of Naga struggle; time tested leaders like these two leaders will never betray the trust the Naga people repose on them".
The Khiamniungan region said that the statement issued by Isak Chishi Swu on December 3 wherein he said 'firmly committed to the Naga national cause, we are working hand in hand as has been our culture and commitment', "we are very much comforted and inspired by such faithful leaders who have gone through fire and water to lead the Naga people".
The statement further stated that in return "we shall never stay away from the path shown to us by chairman Isak Swu and gen secy. Th. Muivah". It also said that more then anything else "we feel ashamed to read the false propaganda" of the “unification team” that the mantle of the Naga movement is with Khaplang and Isak Swu alleging that Swu had shifted allegiance to the “unification team.” "This was without foundation and only reflects the vested interest with chauvinistic minded of Azheto Chophy and his group members", alleged the Khiamniungan region of the NSCN-IM statement issued by its “Central Administrative Officer (CAO)” Shangchio. "In retrospect the Western Sumi Hoho is yet to prove its true standing vis-à-vis the Nagas unification by not being a party to the members of NSCN who are just acting is an 'overbearing Manner' without being given the green signal by NSCN/GPRN. This is the crushing issue invited by the WSH and they are yet to wriggle out of the mess to re-establish its reputation after having attempted to handle the issue that is too big for its size", criticised the statement of the Khiamniungan region, NSCN-IM.
It then stated that given the nature of the situation in "Nagalim where some people are going through sleepless nights to sow the seed of discord between Isak Chish Swu and Th. Muivah, NSCN chairman strongly reacted that such an act is a crime. Let the God of Nagalim for Christ, who will definitely not allow such criminal to go Scot free do justice to the Naga people and punish them accordingly".
The statement also said that more than anything else "we are enlightened by the write up of Lieut Hukato Yeptho, Naga Army, NSCN-IM pointing out the true identity of Mr. Kitovi Zhimomi and his brother in law Mr. Kughalu Mulatuno who according to him are poles apart from other Naga nationalists".
"May we ask the WSH if they consider these two persons as true Naga nationalists. Don't take a step further WSH before you clarify your stand on these two controversial persons who have misled many Naga for too long. Show your commitment and morality and don't attach yourself with these destructive elements. Don't led Sumi's name be contaminated by these two notorious Sumis," cautioned the Khiamniungan region of the NSCN-IM.
