Dimapur, November 1 (MExN): While reminding the general public for better understanding that “bad people bring victory for the nations” the NSCN-K has expressed ‘concern’ over a number of points from student alcoholism to “hobowala,” to “misuse” of what the outfit claimed “good name of Naga national workers/NSCN.”
A note expressing this ‘concerns’ was issued by K Zhimomi, “secretary, public relations, NGOs & education” It noted students indulging in intoxicant such as alcohol “in the name of celebration during or after completion of their examinations, after declaration of examination results and also on getting their scholarship.” Maintaining that this habit “had already destroyed many Naga students” the underground outfit warned that any student indulging in such shall be doing so at their own risk.
Further the secretary expressed ‘pain’ that many precious lives have been lost “due to our Nagas casual attitude of ‘hobowala’ (Suspicion).” The outfit appealed to the Nagas to be “more informative” and “do away with the casual attitude of “hobowala.” It asserted that due to the “satanic attitude of the NSCN-IM, killing amongst the Nagas had started without any reservation from the very beginning of the split of the NSCN in late 80s.”
Further it expressed ‘concern’ that “anti-social elements” are “misusing the good name of the Naga national workers/NSCN for threatening others or for other vested purposes such as the recent incident of serving threatening letter in the name of NSCN in Kohima which was published in section of the local media.” Be it public or an underground cadre, such acts should not be repeated at all in future, it stated.
Also, the NSCN-K explained that “bad people brings victory for the nations; all those who pray are not good man so all drunkards are not bad man.” It also added what it explained as “any problem with any intellectual ultimately ends in friendship and better relationship but any problem with a lesser intellectual ends up in enmity.”
