NSCN (K)-Centre CF talks

Dimapur, October 12 (MExN): Officials from the Union home ministry and National Socialist Council of Nagaland (Khaplang) will meet in New Delhi tomorrow to streamline the existing ceasefire ground rules and also the setting up of designated camps in Nagaland.  

Speaking with The Morung Express today, Senior NSCN (K) Kilonser, AZ Jami disclosed that the main agenda will be about shifting of the Ceasefire Supervisor Board Office from Mon district to Zunheboto. He said that the present CFSB Office in Mon is located in such an interior place which is on the extreme side of Nagaland. 

Kilonser Jami also disclosed that the NSCN (K) would be demanding designated camps in the districts like ‘Mon, Wokha, Mokokchung, Kiphire, Phek etc, in almost all the districts of the state’. Until recently, the outfit was setting up designated camps in Suruhoto, around 200km from Kohima and in Tizit town which is in Mon district.

The NSCN (K)’s side in the ceasefire talks will be headed by the NSCN (K) Kilonser and NSCN (K) CFSB Supervisor, Kughalu Mulatonu and two Deputy Kilonsers. However, the NSCN (K) general secretary, who is also reported to be in Delhi will not take part in the talks, Jami disclosed. 

Jami reiterated that there would be no political talks yet, as the rival group, the NSCN (IM) was engaged in talks with the Centre at present.

“Until and unless the Government of India winds up the talks (with the NSCN-IM) then there will be no political talks now. Let them finish their talks,” Jami echoed the NSCN (K) stand, which has been held firm by the faction for the past many years. 

Jami alleged that the NSCN (IM) has accepted the Indian constitution though they are keeping it a tight secret. However, he said that the Naga people will reject the NSCN (IM) solution since it will be done under the previews of the Indian constitution. 

Jami further disclosed that the activities of the NSCN (IM) cadres in the state would also be brought up for discussion. He said that the NSCN (IM) cadres are moving freely and openly in the civilian areas and interfering in the normal administration of the state with the state and central government remaining helpless. 

Meanwhile, it has been reported in a national daily that senior Kilonser Kughalu Mulatonu has revealed that tomorrow’s talks would focus on ceasefire violation by the NSCN (I-M) and how to check activities that are detrimental to the ongoing ceasefire between the security forces and the NSCN (K). The truce is on since April 2001.

‘However, the NSCN (K) has said it will not allow any of the rival group’s camps to exist in any parts of Nagaland’ the paper reported.
