Dimapur, May 27 (MExN): The NSCN (K) today strongly reacted to a press release by Thimothy Kaping, who alleged that Y Wangtin Naga, Kilonser NSCN (K), had threatened him.
A rejoinder received here from the Under Secretary, Ministry of Home Affairs, Yato Wangsa and K Pikuto Chishi, Under Secretary, Cease Fire Supervisory Board Office, while reacting to Thimothy Kaping, stated that Y Wangtin Naga is unlike Kaping, who has bad blood and hunts the heads of Naga leaders.
The release stated that Y Wanting Naga is a peace lover who is always longing for peace among the Nagas as he does not see any victory as long as ‘anti-elements’ are involved in Naga society.
The release stated that Wangtin has no enmity against anyone, and added that when Wangtin joined the National Movement, he declared before God and the people that his mission will be for peace among the Nagas and accordingly he stood for the peace and unity of the Nagas until his mindset was completely changed in May 2006, when the NSCN (IM) cadres made an attempt on his life and two days later killed late Ngampan Konyak, Education Kilonser on May 2006. The release pointed out that all the press statements and articles during that period before May 2006 reveal the true colour of his feelings and approach towards the ‘Naga peace’.
The release also strongly made a pointer that Y Wangtin made a 23 days non-stop journey to meet the NSCN (K) Chairman SS Khaplang who is in Naga-Kachin boundary and convinced the chairman for peace and unification with other Naga faction, and where the chairman openly declared that he was not averse to the unification and reconciliation of the Naga faction basing on the principle of sovereignty. In this connection, the release strongly requested Kaping not to ‘mis-use’ the name of NSIC and NSG as it will not help at all because ‘the ultimate solution to our problem lies in our hand’ stated the release.
The release strongly questioned Kaping; “Will you count the heads of Naga Kilonsers and Generals assassinated by I-K terrorists under the commands of mostly Tangkhuls? What was your reaction as neutral organisation members as you said when I-K terrorists declare ‘Holy War’ against Naga National workers? In this regard the release stated that the Naga people read many of his statement and articles published directly condemning and accusing the NNC and NSCN (K) by dragging the names of NISC and NSG which are non-existing organisation for the glorification of ‘IK terrorists’, the release alleged.
The release further stated that they are the sons of the soil and that Kaping is the bondsman of the Nagas. The release again directly questioned Kaping, “Was not the very degree certificate that you hold from the blood and sweat of the Nagas? Have you forgotten how you come to Dimapur as a beggar and was it not the Sumi community who provided you shelter and education? With whose money you reached South Korea and married the Korean Lady?” the release, in this regard, advised Kaping not to challenge any Naga leader who are the Kings in their own land and on whose soil he, Kaping, will ‘grow’.
