DIMAPUR, FEB 25 (MExN): Pointing out the misadventures of NSCN (IM), the Naga National Council (NNC) called the Naga youths to abstain from supporting the NSCN (IM) and work for the right cause of Naga nation in joining hands with the NNC. In a press release issued by Chungbui Newmai, Youth President Nagaland Youth Movement, NNC it stated that the youths should not serve the Indian nation only for the interest of money, but should know their bounden duty to serve for “our own Naga nation” and “sacrifice for our people”. “We have to defend God-given sovereignty at all cost” it added.
Asserting that the actions of their (NSCN-IM) actions reveal their “hidden agenda” it stated that “they are fighting against the Nagas in the interest of India uncovered” and pointed out that the two leaders Isak and Th Muivah had “given up the sovereignty” and they demanded “integration or greater autonomy” from Delhi Government. But when the Government of India did not grant their demand, “they demanded for affiliation with the Nagaland Board of School Education (NBSE) and then giving aside their demand for integration, they set up their own Manipur State political party (United Naga Democratic Front/UNDF)” it stated.
It also asserted that the NSCN (IM) are now “notoriously involving” in the Indian State elections by threatening and forcing the Southern Naga people to vote for their UNDF candidates, whereby abducting public leaders from various regions for refusing “to support their (so called NSCN-IM) candidates.”
The NNC stating that “if the NSCN (IM) are not for the Indian constitution they would not involve in the Indian elections and if they are not for the Manipur state integration, they would not set up political party under the Manipur State” and validated that the NSCN (IM) are for the Indian constitution and for the integration of the so called Manipur state. Affirming that many youths had been led to involve in “anti-social and anti-national activities by the renegade Isak and Th Muivah” and lost their lives in vain it therefore called youths to unite and also pray to God to use the Naga Youths to defend the sovereignty of Nagaland and henceforth guide them in the right path.
