Dimapur, November 18 (MExN): In a severe scathing attack on the recent policy position upheld by the ULFA, the Naga International Support Centre(NISC) based in the Netherlands issued a statement questioning whether Ulfa has joined the ‘how to divide the Naga peoples’ bull Market? Save the methods used, like striking on innocent people with bombs, the Naga International Support Center believed in the quest for self determination of the United Liberation Front of Asom( ULFA) on behalf of its own people, the people of Asom. The NISC expressed bewilderment as ‘it is practically unbelievable to witness ULFA’s teaming up with a bunch of criminals under the control of the Government of India.’ The statement while acknowledging that ‘ULFA (too)was once a friend of the Naga forces’ but it is astounded to (now)see how low ULFA has sunk morally.
Despite restraining itself from making any criticism on its past actions and maintenance of a non-interference stance until now, NISC came out openly today stating that ‘any assault on ordinary people is deplored and condemned.’
The NISC besides questioning the sincerity of ULFA raised four points making stark allegation on ULFA for squandering Human rights and for teaming up with an armed gang, deployed and fed by the Armed Forces of the Government of India. The statement also bemoaned on how ULFA (has) stooped to the criminal level of the Khaplang Group.
The NISC listed the following four points: (A) for having established camps in Eastern Nagaland Burma with the Khaplang Group; (B) for using an incident to turn against a Naga tribe, just like the Khaplang Group did with their quit notice against the Tangkhul tribe; (C) – for wanting Assam as a whole to be independent; implicitly denying the prime Indigenous peoples, the Boros, their independence; (D) – for planting bombs in markets, cinemas and other public places, for blowing up pipeline and for attacking trains.
The press handout stated that ‘Naga International Support Center condemns any terror meted out by ULFA and the Khaplang Group and deplores the parroting attitude of the ULFA’.
Notwithstanding the desperation, the NISC made a fervent appeal calling on the humanity left in the United Liberation Front of Asom and urges ULFA to stand up and fight for a just cause; to fight for its people on the basis of human and Indigenous Peoples Rights; to refrain from deflecting attention by pointing to others; to stop hitting on innocent people and to abandon the blindly following of criminals out to divide the tribes.
