NSCN (IM) responds to  ‘Chinese factor’ allegations

Dimapur, September 19 (MExN): The NSCN (IM) on Saturday condemned the Indian Intelligence agencies for allegedly connecting its General Secretary Th Muivah to the “Chinese factor to question his integrity.” It also rejected the “manipulative manner of media report” targeting Muivah to question his sincerity and commitment.

A press statement from the MIP said that all members of the NSCN involved in the peace talk cannot be made to stay in one location in Delhi for ‘accommodation convenience’.

As such, the NSCN (IM) said that is “wrong on the part of the media to build ridiculous conjecture that NSCN members are not of one mind.” The NSCN (IM) said that there was ‘wild media speculation’ with vested interests as the Indo-Naga political talks gained momentum and at the threshold of signing the final deal.

It stated that certain elements are at work to sow seeds of suspicion and undo the hard-earned achievement guided by “mutual faith and respect” for more than 23 years.

Alleging it to be the “handiwork of suspicious mindset emanating from panic analysis of Indo-Naga political talks,” the NSCN (IM) said that the “Government of India and NSCN need complete faith on each other without giving any room for doubt and other unfounded Intelligence agencies wild analysis and baseless calculations.”

“This is not the right time to throw in unhealthy opinions with the ulterior motive to fracture the hard earned peace process when the propitious moment is round the corner,” the NSCN (IM) stated.
