Dimapur, Feb 17 (MExN): Responding to the write up carried in this news daily dated February 13 issue by one Vikato Zhimomi supposedly belonging to the Sumi region of the NSCN (IM), the NSCN (K) has stated that the writer, if he professes to be a man, should give his proper name and designation. “Writing such a threatening statement on bogus name is an act of cowardice and mockery”, stated Khekivi Sumi, Office Assistant, NSCN (K) in a refutation. “Tangkhul names are like Hopson Muivah, Jobson Vashume, Gentleson Shimray, Cruelson Shimrah, Eliza Saiza, Daniel Shimrang etc. and there is no Tangkhul by the name Vikato Zhimomi on this beautiful earth”, the NSCN (K) made known.
Alleging that Tangkhuls usually stay in the land of the Nagas and enjoying their wealth, the NSCN (K) charged that “Tangkhuls usually kill their hosts and benefactors without any compunction”. Further alleging that killing is their inherent culture inherited from the “people of Manipur valley”, that is why the Nagas rightfully issued the quit notice”. “No one should get confused. If anything happens at anytime to any members of the families of N. Kitovi Zhimomi, Kughalu Mulatonu, AZ Jami and Wangtin Naga it is by Tangkhuls only and not by anyone”, the NSCN (K) stated.
“Vikato Zhimomi Tangkhul is talking about students of other communities studying in different places. Yes you are right, many students are studying in different places. But they only pursue their studies peacefully. But the Tangkhuls, to which strata of the society they belong, they are terrorists and accomplices of the terrorists. Therefore, the difference is poles apart”, the statement pointed out.
Taking up the point raised by the writer that it was SS Khaplang and N Kitovi Zhimomi who were frustrated, the NSCN (K) countered that and questioned that “if Isak and Th Muivah are not frustrated, why their politics have been turned to Indian election and school affiliation? Why they are desperately trying to meet Gen Khole C-in-C of Naga army instead of meeting NSCN political leaders?” Why they are trying to create distrust and misunderstanding among the NSCN leaders?”
“The last point, Vikato Tangkhul is talking about is international recognition of the group. Recognition, don’t worry, the world recognized your group as terrorists organizations and is going to be cornered by the world very soon. Responsible organization. Yes, responsible in all the killings and terrorist activities in Nagaland and its negihbouring areas”, the NSCN (K) stated.
