‘Indo-Naga political issue is between the Naga political groups and GOI’
DIMAPUR, OCTOBER 16 (MExN): The NSCN/GPRN Khaplang has once again made its stand very clear that the Indo-Naga issue is dragging on for more than 60 long years due to the insincerity of the Govt. Of India (GOI) and its agencies who tried to crush and suppress the Nagas with its military might for the last 6 decades.
“But on realising the futility of military exercises hesitantly concluded that military might alone cannot solved or suppress the Nagas determination for self rule hence, ceasefire was finally signed much to the delight of the military generals who have all along been telling the rulers at the echelons of power seats that only political negotiation could bring about a lasting solution”, stated a press note issued by MIP.
The NSCN (K) pointed out that the “talk of 15 long years of negotiation is not the issue” and that the “Naga issue is not about 15 years but it’s about 70 long years leading to loss of nearly 30,000 brave Nagas lives protecting their motherland”.
“This is only for Naga public awakening of what is going on and what is going to happen to the Nagas if all those lives lost in their fight for their freedom ends up in a piecemeal solution”. As such, the NSCN (K) reiterated its stand before the people that it will never be a part of the “ongoing murmurings of the so-called JLF of the so-called Nagaland state”.
The NSCN (K) “as a sole protector of the Nagas as a whole” also expressed amusement by the statement of the “so-called Home Minister Imkong L. Imchen’s clarification that neither the NSCN (IM) nor the GOI had signed any sort of agreement to settle the issue within the constitution of India”.
“Judging from the Imkong’s statement he seems to be very much part of the ongoing negotiation (a party of IM or GOI) as the matter has to be clarified to the general public either the NSCN IM or by the GOI”, the MIP note stated.
The NSCN (K) stated that Mr. Imkong was “nobody to give comments in the Naga issue” while pointing out that the Indo-Naga political issue is between the Naga political groups and GOI.
“Therefore, no matter how much he might try to gain his political mileage out of the issue he will never succeed for everybody knows what he is and who he is”. The NSCN (K) further pointed out that his statement was issued in the “interests of the awakening of the Naga public and not otherwise”.
