DIMAPUR, MAY 18 (MExN): In a sharp reaction and strong disapproval of the recent order issued by the NSCN (IM) to deal with cases of ‘mob uprising’, the NSCN (K) has termed such a move as “an unambiguous attempt to crush any sort of dissent by the people” and that under no circumstances, the NSCN (K) will allow such destructive acts against the Nagas. “It will not tolerate any attempt to infringe on the fundamental rights of the people for whom they are fighting against the foreign occupational authorities and forces. God forbid”, stated Nitovi Aye, Cabinet Secretary, in a press communiqué.
Pointing out that the Naga people mandated the freedom fighters to fight against the foreign occupational forces and aggressors and “not to act as self styled law enforcing agencies”. “Therefore, the Council of Kilonsers and officers in a joint meeting on May 18, unanimously resolved to repulse the evil designs of the I-K terrorist at any time anywhere”, the NSCN (K) press communiqué stated.
The NSCN (K) further termed such a move as an attempt “to curb the freedom and liberty of the Naga people under the pretext of controlling law and order situation in Nagaland. Referring to the order, wherein it was stated that “any popular agitations by the Nagas would be put down with iron hand”, “to the extend of causing grievous injury and death” and that “use of force is justified” in such situations, the NSCN (K) termed such a move as an attempt as “another ugly head of fascisim and Nazism which ignited the destructive second world war during the first half of the 20th century.
“The Nagas are freedom loving people and therefore, any attempt to curb the liberties of the Nagas by any individual or group would be very costly”, the NSCN (K) stated adding that no one should try to infringe on the fundamental rights of the people guaranteed by national and universal laws.
The NSCN (K) further alleged that some “Naga puppets” are trying to destroy the Nagas for their own comforts and pleasures under the patronage of those terrorists. “If they really want to do such things to their hearts content, they should go to Ukhrul and Senapati and do as they like”, it stated. In this context, the NSCN (K) urged the “Indian authorities and the occupational forces” not to stand between “the I-K terrorists and the Naga people and allow the former to persecute the Nagas and create havoc among the Nagas with terrorist acts”.
“Rather, the Indians should leave Nagaland bag and baggage immediately without any outside force abetting the terrorist to create more troubles in the Naga society and in Nagaland”, the NSCN (K) stated while pointing out that it took a “serious note of the Indian machineries lending all logical supports under the pretext of the ceasefire to the I-K terrorists openly and covertly to crush and annihilate the Naga people”.
