NSCN (K) resolutions will only benefit India: NSG

DIMAPUR, AUGUST 19 (MExN): Nine individuals claiming to be from the Naga Solidarity Group has in the strongest of terms, opposed the 14 August resolutions by the NSCN (K) and pointed out that this will only benefit India and cause unnecessary harm and suffering to the Nagas. “NSCN (K) is in danger of isolation if it does not revoke the resolutions”. In a signed statement, the NSG raised specific concerns such as “what the real underlying purpose on which these resolutions are based, as well as their authority to make decisions when their impact has the potential for serious damage throughout Nagaland?”

The NSG also wondered as to why the NGOs that are working to bring peace to Nagaland being singled out. “We concede the complexity in Nagaland and the efforts of various groups to bring about peace. Their activities do not malign them nor make them auxiliaries of the NSCN-IM”. The NSG members who issued the statement includes James Brown, USA; Dino Latiri, Italy; Thomas Labadie, France; Thomas Johansen,  Denmark; Julie Rickart, UK; Klaartje Koenig, The Netherlands; Marcus Betz, Germany; Ricardo Torres, Chile; Esteban Arelleno, Mexico. It may be recalled that NSCN (K) had resolved to cut all communications with Naga Hoho, NSF and NPMHR and that they would be treated at par with the ‘I-M terrorists.’
