DImapur, November 25 (MExN): The NSCN (K) has claimed that the assissnation bid on the life of Goa Governor SC Jamir on November 24 near Changki village under Mokokchung district was the handiwork of the NSCN (IM) and that it was carried out under the command of one Hopeson Tangkhul in association with SS Maj Lanu and SS Lt Yanger, both from Changki village.
An MIP press note from the NSCN (K) stated that the ambush took place when “right thinking people were heavily engaged in Naga unification process in and around Dimapur.” The NSCN (K) further stated that the version of the NSCN (IM) that the ambush was stage-managed by Jamir himself was nothing but an attempt to gain “political mileage”. “Such gang of hypocrites and liars should be pushed out of Nagaland bag and baggages”, it stated pointing out that this “heinous act” was done by the NSCN (IM) in connivance with some State politicians. “Truth will certainly be revealed sooner or later”, the NSCN (K) stated.
While stating that such crimes cannot be hidden, the NSCN (K) pointed out that in a federal set-up, the Governor of a State is called “junior president” and that it will see how the Government of India will react on the armed attack on one of its ‘junior presidents’ by the NSCN (IM) and especially during the currency of the ceasefire. “It is not only Th Muivah, but also the Government of India covertly and overtly helping and encouraging the terrorist to destroy the Nagas and Nagaland”, it claimed adding that all Nagas should therefore rise up united against such conspiracies.
