The GPRN/NSCN has come down hard on the NSCN/GPRN and its general secretary Th. Muivah for the current crisis arising out the latter’s proposed visit to his native village in Ukhrul district of Manipur. Addressing the Media at their designated camp in Khehoi on Monday, June 7, special envoy to the GPRN/NSCN collective leadership K Mulatonu advised Muivah to stop playing the role of ‘an agent of India and a stooge of its intelligence agencies.’
“There is clear evidence that the GoI (Government of India) and the state government are jointly encouraging Muivah to extend the borders of terrorism and which is why he has been provided security to Manipur where he is a wanted criminal,” Mulatonu claimed. Strongly asserting his claim, Mulatonu said that in New Delhi, Muivah is lodged in Lodi Estate 61 heavily guarded by the Delhi police and in Nagaland he has been given unprecedented security by the state government ‘to create terrorists activities between Manipur and Nagaland.’
The special envoy said Muivah is taking the name of the Nagas “to solve his Ukhrul problem” and will not allow Muivah “to keep Nagaland on a furnace to build his castle in Ukhrul”. In doing so, Mulatonu said, Muivah has only ‘compromised the sovereignty and integrity’ of the Nagas. Quoting from the book ‘The Naga Polity’ by M Horam, Mulatonu further said ‘Tangkhuls are not Nagas’. “In the book it is stated that Tangkhuls and Meiteis are brothers but Meiteis and Nagas are not, so how can the Tangkhuls be Nagas,” he said.
“Muivah must clearly understand that GoI will have thousands of rounds of talks with them but without any solution... Naga problem is not terrorism rather it is political and will be solved by the Nagas and not strangers,” he explained. Further, Mulatonu ‘advised’ Muivah not to enter “Naga administered areas which is in contravention to the ‘Chiangmai Agreement’. “GPRN/NSCN would react militarily if necessary”. He said that this message has been clearly conveyed to Dr Wati Aier, convener of the FNR.
On the political dialogue between the GPRN/NSCN he said that it will happen before the end of this year. On the recent attack on goods’ carriers coming from Manipur by NSF volunteers, Mulatonu claimed that “the NSCN (IM) is paying NSF volunteers” while the activities are “jointly carried out by the NSF, NPMHR and NSCN-IM cadres.” Condemning, he said such activities is a ‘total violation of human rights’ and said would trace out the “self vested culprits”.
Coming down hard on the NSF, the Naga hoho and the NPMHR, which he said are made up of a ‘few minor Naga tribes’, Mulatonu added that their actions are ‘only encouraging the Manipur security forces to kill innocent people.’ On the blockade called by the All Assam Manipuri Students’ Organization, he said that the GPRN/NSCN has not met those students’ bodies. “We will meet them and study their intentions and come to an understanding,” he claimed. However, he said that they should impose economic blockade only ‘on those tribes who are party to the Naga Hoho and the NSF.’
