Dimapur, February 22 (MExN): The National Socialist Council of Nagalim takes note of what it stated is the ‘changing color and allegiance’ of one of its former kilonsers, V Tuccu after “completion of his medical treatment.”
An MIP stated that the organization is surprised by an “undignified and misleading” statement issued by the said former kilonser. “In what can be termed as undignified and misleading, the statement issued by former Kilonser V Tuccu has surprised the NSCN. All along he has maintained his stand and makes it cleared to the GPRN in general and to his Sumi colleagues in particular that he is very much with the NSCN under the Collective Leadership of Isak Chishi Swu, Th. Muivah and Khodao Yanthan” the MIP stated.
The MIP stated that V Tuccu applied for medical leave in the month of November 2007 which was granted and again extended on January 3, 2008 as duly sanctioned by the “Ato Kilonser.” He was also given Rs. 50,000 as applied by him for medical expenses. “All this goes to show his political allegiance to NSCN. But changing color after the completion of his medical treatment is totally undignified and it only reflect his confused political commitment” the NSCN-IM stated.
Further, the Sumi underground workers had a meeting on January 18, 2008 at Hebron Camp and adopted “the political stance” that they are fully behind the Collective Leadership and supports a unification based on “correct principle.” This stand was no different from the proclamation made on January 2007 by chairman Isak Chishi Swu, the MIP stated. “V. Tuccu is no child not to understand the stand taken by his Sumi Colleagues of the NSCN. But changing allegiance and issuing confusing statement is unbecoming of his stature and misleading in nature. NSCN is constrained to issue this statement lest the public get confused and misled by such unfounded statement of V. Tuccu” it added. A copy of the “leave application” sanctioned by Ato Kilonser was also enclosed.
