Dimapur, April 19 (MExN): Maintaining that “a person not willing to admit his silly mistakes is committing the greater mistakes,” Robin Tongsin, “ASO” of the NSCN-IM MIP feels it is not political or organizational differences but the unwillingness to admit mistakes and the tendency to blame others which is causing Nagas’ unrest today.
According to an opinion in a note from Tongsin, the turmoil in the Naga nation today is neither due to differences between organizations or ideologies but the “rigidity” to admit mistakes as well as the tendency to blame others. “…in this Naga world of today, falsification of facts and false propaganda, hatred coupled with killings etc have become like a stable food to us” he stated.
“The main cause of this, I believe, is neither the differences of organizations we belong to nor the different political ideologies we imbibed. But it is due to the rigidity to admit our mistakes and our tendency to blame others for the mistakes committed by us” he stated. The “ASO” also mentioned a couple of articles in the local dailies “distortion of revolutionary philosophy” and “IK terrorists’ misadventure” which he stated are instances of the point made above.
“It is very pleasant to identify someone’s mistake but when we do so, t boomerangs back at us in the same amount for no one in this world is eluded of mistakes; when we point out somebody’s fault, it should be also remembered that our faults are being exposed” he reminded.
