DIMAPUR, SEPTEMBER 1 (MExN): The NSCN (IM) today accused ACAUT leader, KK Sema of “misleading the Nagas” and “abetting civil war” in the latter’s speech during the August 25 ACAUT Nagaland rally in Dimapur.
In a press note issued through its MIP, the NSCN (IM) said: “Nagas never asked for war. Forces that came to invade Land of the Nagas have inflicted on the Naga people the goriest of crimes and the most loathsome human rights situations the world has ever witnessed.”
It accused Sema of “abetting and promoting civil war while the Nagas have yearned for peace, justice and rest for more than half a century today.” The NSCN (IM) claimed that “shrouded behind the shadow of so called ACAUT,” he fed the gathering with “hate and civil war.”
“He even went to the extent of abusing and insulting a Naga Revolutionary legendry as a ‘rubber stamp’, ‘shadow of NSCN’ etc. What has late Isak Chishi Swu done to the Naga people will forever stand witness to the Universal Pursuit for Justice,” the NSCN (IM) stated.
It added that KK Sema could have served the Naga young generation to do away with corruptions and evil practices in Nagaland “if he were in a stable mental state.” It further stated that ACAUT could have garnered supports of thousand victims of corruptions, scams and squanderer political Institution like present Nagaland, had it stood true to its proclamation.
However, it claimed that ACAUT is not an association that stands for sweeping corruptions in the state. “It has, true to its actual color, turned a platform where hate is being preached to promote violence targeting the hard-earned Peace Process that has achieved in putting a Framework Agreement between GoI and the Naga people,” the NSCN (IM) alleged.
Pointing out that the Nagas’ struggle for JustPeace has lasted decades involving untold miseries, it asked the Naga people to question the ACAUT leader “what better solution has KK Sema for the Naga people and the Government of India by jeopardizing the current peace initiatives?”
The NSCN (IM) further stated that “at the most the ACAUT could represent Dimapur Chamber of Commerce, Dimapur Tella Union, Dimapur Motors Union, Dimapur Garrage Union and Dimapur Auto Union.” Terming these associations as “unlawful,” the NSCN (IM) claimed that these associations “collect taxes to sponsor KK Sema’s high ground to fuel violence, incense hypertension among Naga fraternal oneness and, to further tear the Nagas down when they are already on the threshold to embrace long-denied liberty, to be a free people and to be a free Nation.”
It meanwhile alleged that KK Sema along with fellow ACAUT leader Joel Rengma receive “handsome Honorarium of rupee one lakh and fifty thousand per month plus other lavish allowances for rekindling fratricidal quarrels, and also, for furthering the agenda of other perfidious elements that are ceaselessly bent on cracking down what has been achieved between the Government of India and the Naga people…”
The NSCN (IM) said that every “sane Naga citizen understands as to what extent the Naga revolutionaries have walked past.”
“Let the Naga people listen to their conscience and not to the sounds and noises of the likes of KK Sema,” it urged. “Let every Naga household, every Naga citizen, figure out the rationale of KK Sema and his friends that, every time those unqualified unions’ sponsored platform is created, to give convenience to the loud noise of highly criminal intent and motivated by corruption-institutionalized state political ambition, lambast a long-standing conflict and its frontline leadership in order to derail the Peace Talks,” it added.
Any possible “catastrophic consequences that will recur will not be of civil war alone,” the NSCN (IM) said. Rather, it cautioned that the “ultimate fallout will imperatively beset the entire Naga Nation on a longer and most tragic setting over again.”
Further, the NSCN (IM) reminded that there are millions of Nagas outside the present state of Nagaland “who too, deserve the freedom to exist and live like those who have been benefitted by the profuse sanction of money to the 16th state of India called Nagaland as the brain child of an inglorious document, like the 16-point draft proposals, to quiet down the Nagas’ Struggle to restore the Nagas to their right place.”
