After ‘IM solution GoI should be ready to talk with the NSCN for Naga Independence on the global arena’
DIMAPUR, OCTOBER 29 (MExN): The NSCN Khaplang has clarified that the letter purportedly written by its Chairman to Forum for Naga Reconciliation (FNR) stating that it will not stand on the way of the ongoing negotiation between the NSCN (IM) and the GOI “but will surely stand firm on the Indo-Myanmar-Naga political issue for Naga Independence”.
A press note from the MIP has stated that it had learnt that “some people are trying to take advantage and manipulate the letter with ulterior motives towards the NSCN and confuse the Nagas but their efforts will not have any impact upon the Naga or the NSCN as the people already knows the stand of the NSCN for sovereignty of Naga country at any cost”.
“The NSCN leader S.S. Khaplang is not talking about the Nagas of Myanmar only but infact he is talking about the 14th Aug’ 1947 declaration of Naga Independence by the Nagas of Indian imposed Nagaland state, he is also talking about the 1951 plebiscite of the Nagas and the boycott of the 1952 Indian sponsored elections in the Indian imposed Nagaland state”, stated the MIP note.
Hence, the NSCN (K) advised these groups and individuals that “their intention to create further rift among the Nagas at this juncture is only displaying their true immature colour and the nature of their approach towards the NSCN and Naga people for their individual gains and cheap publicity”.
The MIP note has further noted that “the decision in this regard have been taken pre June 2011 split and this letter was the outcome of this decision jointly taken by this three leaders (S.S. Khaplang, Gen. Khole and Kitovi) but despite knowing fully of the fact these gentlemen are now trying to twist it with ulterior motives to malign the NSCN and its leader S.S. Khaplang but, as the old saying says that truth trumps in the long run”.
According to the MIP note, the “letter of the then joint leaders clearly states that it (NSCN) will not stand in the way of IM solution for no Naga knows what is the exact contents or demands of their so-called 15 years long talk which is tightly hidden within their lips however, unfortunately the people came to know through the print Media that their tight lipped talk is about solution within the constitution of India (unacceptable to any Naga)”.
The MIP note stated that “hence, the NSCN leader only assured that it will not interfere in the affairs of the said IM solution but in fact the NSCN leader S.S. Khaplang was happy to learnt that some sort of solution is likely in the immediate future for the benefit of the (IM) and therefore wished them in their endeavor”.
“The NSCN as the people’s only matured organization standing for Naga sovereignty makes it known to everyone that only after the IM solution, will start its negotiations for Naga Independence on the global arena and therefore asked the IM not to interfere in the affairs of NSCN and GOI and Myanmar when it finally starts its negotiation which is going to be participated by all the Nagas including NGOs and public alike”.
The MIP went on to clarify that the “NSCN leader only urged the NSCN IM not to stand on its way as it did to the ongoing IM negotiations for the IM solution as the NSCN had nothing to do with the IM solution which had been clearly mentioned in its earlier statements”. In the meantime, the NSCN (K) wished the GOI to give away any kind of packages or solution to the NSCN IM “but it (GOI) should also be ready to talk with the NSCN for Naga Independence on the global arena”.
