Dimapur, March 20 (MExN): Holding the Church and ‘NGOs’ responsible for the 1963 16-point Agreement, among others, NSCN-K president SS Khaplang today in a press statement made clear that his outfit would never unite with the “terrorist organization” even for the sake of peace and unity.
In his speech on “28th Republic Day” Khaplang stated that the GPRN stands for sovereignty of Nagaland and for any civil organization attempting to persuade the NSCN-K “with the nutrients of the terrorists to thwart the Naga cause,” the “gates shall remain closed.”
“The people’s organization will not deflect Naga peace and unity but at the same time, it will not compromise nor unite with the terrorist organization for the sake of peace and unity; there will be no peace and unity with the terrorists and without a political unity and vision no unification is unity but an invitation of embittered bloodshed or Jihad (holy war) in the language of the anti-Naga forces” Khaplang stated.
Khaplang also held responsible the church and civil society for the political events that took place in the transitional decades: “The church and NGOs were responsible for the 1963 16-point Agreement, the 1974 RGN (sic) surrender and the signing of the 1975 treacherous Shillong Accord” he stated while cautioning that the church and the ‘NGOs’ must no longer play with the “hurly-burly temptations to freeze or confiscate the political dictionary of the Naga sovereignty.”
According to the NSCN-K chief Nagas have undergone bitter experiences of the “Indianization traumas” by the architects and representatives of India who forms, he stated, the ‘so-called government of Nagaland through undemocratic elections conducted by backings of millions of Indian Armed forces.’ Since the church and Nagas exist outside the Indian constitution, they must not play second fiddle against the patriots but “fix” the aggressor united.
Also while thanking ‘all the Naga NGOs and international civil societies for showing patience in supporting the Naga cause ad help it, he also cautioned against endangering the “legitimate existence of the GPRN.”
“There were also highly intensified and so-called Nagaland state sponsored NGOs whose gravity of mistakes has extremely and intensively endangered the legitimate existence of the GPRN (NSCN). However, the peoples Government of Nagaland will prove it to time and history that we Nagas cannot be fooled or duped to lose” he assured.
On the ongoing political dialogue with the Government of India, SS Khaplang made clear that no “unwanted teams” should be around. “The GPRN once again reiterates that there will be talks with India but only when India clears the ground then keeping the unwanted teams. The fact is, no occupational countries can continue beating around the bush but endorse legal politics to solve the Indo-Naga-Myanmar political crises” he stated.
He pointed out that the GPRN has both its feet spread in India and Myanmar and “our governance” cannot be challenged by any presumptive standards of forceful military ‘implication.’ The NSCN-K entered into a bilateral ceasefire with India in April 28, 2001 with a broad-based policy to retain Naga sovereignty through political dialogues, he stated. He reiterated that it has yet to enter into a political dialogue with India. But if need be, I would uniformly work out various diplomatic policies as christened in the Naga plebiscite of May 16, 1951, he stated.
The NSCN-K will face the challenge thrown at it, Khaplang also assured. While saluting the achievements and sacrifices made by ‘millions’ of Naga patriots who paid a ransom for the cause, the NSCN-K assured its commitment to first contain all anti-Naga and terrorist detriments.
After this, spell out the voice of sovereignty with a united voice “compounded by guts and grits to attain.”
“I have not seen my patriots shrink in timidity and will not see it till victory is won and that Nagaland for Christ must be ordained in all the hearts of the Christian Nagas. Together we have a future and that future is a sovereign Nagaland for Christ” he stated. He offered his salutations to the Nagas who had made the ultimate sacrifice for the cause.
