Dimapur, January 21 (MExN): The NSCN (IM) has stated that the “Nagas are the master of their own political destiny” and termed as unfortunate that a few Nagas by virtue of their position in the NSCN (IM) “desperately tried to place the destiny of the Nagas at the mercy of the government of India”.
A press note issued by the MIP stated that in the “covert operation taking the sweet sounding name of Naga Unification few selected Naga national workers with the connivance of some members of civil societies dared to make cheap of Indo-Naga issue by hijacking the Naga unification issue in the manner of a harden criminal trained for the purpose of playing divisive role”.
The MIP note stated that the “manner of handling the Naga unification was so demeaning that it was like an insult to the Naga people that come from a rogue gene”. “But in the process it takes no time to expose their true standing and eventually they earned the wrath of the Nagas when the NSCN/GPRN declared them as defectors”.
The MIP note added that these people had proved themselves as nothing more than “stooges of the Indian intelligence agencies” going to the extent of “branding themselves as NSCN and rushing to Delhi to get further direction”.
“The unification group with the confused lot of persons while still proclaiming themselves as working for the Naga unity that encompassed the whole Naga areas that respect no artificial boundaries dropped ‘Nagalim’ from their official document and replaced by ‘Nagaland’. This is a cruel insult to the Naga nation at the behest of the Indian intelligence groups to divide the Naga nation under the Indian constitution”.
The note described as significant an “interesting development” which it stated had further exposed the belligerent face of the unification and Khaplang group. It claimed that on January 18 the residence of Q. Awomi, Director, PWD GPRN, at Burma Camp was rounded up by around 20 members of the combined group with the intention to kill him. The panic stricken children seeing the fully armed boys around the house had a harrowing experienced till the father had a miraculous escape, it stated.
The MIP note pointed out that these people who professed to be working for Naga unification in order to end bloodshed is now targeting the NSCN (IM) national workers who refused to toe their line of action to join the unification group. “This is another mockery of their unification call to the Nagas who have tolerated all the insult heaped on them in the name of Naga unification”, the MIP stated adding that the government of India “instigated program taking the issue of Naga unification which the Nagas are so obsessed with met its doom in the scheme of its own making when the very people used finds the ‘unification issue’ too hot to handle”.
