DIMAPUR, SEPT 25 (MExN): The Amsterdam based Naga International Support Center (NISC) has suggested to both the NSCN (K) and the NNC that instead of using “suggestive gutter language through firing pot shots via the press”, the leadership of the NNC and the NSCN (K) should make themselves accessible for “a real dialogue on the basis of policy, ideology of the right to self determination and to make the goals public which lead there”.
“NISC invites the K-Group especially to show its intentions to the Naga Peoples it represents and for which it is fighting to reach these goals and ask to come up with a Manifesto, or at least an accountable policy”, it stated in a press communiqué received here. Asking the NSCN (K) whether it wanted to save Nagaland for future generations, the NISC stated that this was questionable because what both the NNC and the NSCN (K) were doing now only played into the hand of the adversaries, the invaders.
“Continuing like this makes the NNC and K-group look like tools. Continuing this strategy leads to disintegration of Nagaland”, the NISC counseled.
Stating that to continue attacking on this scale, the Naga national principle will be forfeited, the NISC firmly advocated the right of all Nagas to determine their own future as a nation.
And in order to resolve what it termed as ‘deep rooted differences’ the NISC proposed and recommended the setting up of an impartial Tribunal through which all allegations are to be processed. “An impartial investigative body will examine the allegations, check them for validity and historical value, calls witnesses to hear first hand and concludes with public hearings to come to binding verdicts”, it stated.
Further, a national dialogue on the basis of the Naga national principle based on Naga plebiscite, where the Nagas showed they wanted to be a sovereign Nation. Pointing out that such a dialogue is being organized on the basis of having the best interest of all Nagas at heart and that to avoid personal or other vested interests from creeping in, which are dealt with by the Tribunal, all participants of all those who represent the Naga Peoples are to show what they stand for and through what means they are envisioned to achieve those goals. “This national dialogue is being organized with the aim to reconcile once and for all, to come together as one nation”, NISC stated.
NISC’s third recommendation was “to stop disruptive mudslinging, name calling, lowering of standards, singling out tribes to serve them with a quit notices, but to come up with documented proof of allegations so due process on the basis of checks and balances, fairness and democratic principles will mean justice for all”.
