DIMAPUR, JUNE 23 (MExN): GPRN President (Yaruiwo) Isak Chishi Swu today issued an ‘annulment ahza’ (order) of the Zunheboto ceasefire agreement reached earlier with the NSCN (K) citing the ‘brazen attitude and treacherous action’ of the NSCN (K) cadres under the command of Nikhuyi. “Our team went there unharmed demonstrating our faith and sincerity; but to the utter surprise of the entire team, Mr Nikhuyi and his men came in full combat gear and after creating a commotion by their random firing, intimidated our officials into signing a ceasefire agreement, clearly conveying the idea that they would all be eliminated should they reuse to sign it”, stated the annulment ahza dated June 23, 2006 issued from The Hague, Netherlands. The annulment order pointed out that Nikhuyi had also ordered his men to attack the NSCN (IM) cadres stationed at Khukiye Lukhai village and that ambushes were laid at Chisholimi, Mudutsugho and surrounding villages targeting the returning GPRN officials.
“Such brazen attitude and treacherous action is not only an insult to the Sumi civil societies through whose positive efforts these initiatives were made, but it is more of a self-forfeiture of our trust and therefore we hold ourselves not bound by any such farcical imposition”, the GPRN President stated in the ahza. “We neither believe in such forced union nor in the marriage that can be sustained through deception. We no longer trust such people”, it was stated while at the same time pointing out that it advocates the policy of reconciliation and unity among the Nagas.
“In this spirit and in response to the genuine wishes of the Sumi civil societies, a team of GPRN officials, led by Shikato Chishi Swu, Deputy Kilonser, was deputed by my office to meet some leaders from Khaplang’s camp as desired also by them, to foster better understanding amongst us”, it was stated. The President likewise, gave the assurance that the NSCN (IM) was committed to the peace process in totality and that it was seriously exploring every possible avenue in finding an honorable political solution acceptable to both the parties. “For the achievement of this objective, faith in the power of collective wisdom and mass participation becomes essential”, it stated.
The GPRN President also stated that they were “very critical of the fact that how unscrupulously the Government of India is using these elements to counterbalance it”. The statement pointed out that the GoI had succeeded only in vitiating the otherwise conducive atmosphere. “In the final analysis, this intrigue would only be self-defeating though they have not ceased terming the self-created situation as a case of factional clashes”.
