KU feels Tongmeth cheated the Konyaks: NSCN (K)
DIMAPUR, FEB 18 (MExN): The NSCN (K) has disclosed that the NSCN (IM) failed once again in their mission to rope in the NSCN leadership, stating that using of Tongmeth, former Home Kilonser of NSCN (K) who defected to NSCN (IM) group as a messenger proved to be one of the main factor for failure of their mission, adding that many of the Konyak Union (KU) leaders did not approve the letter written by Tongmeth as the KU leaders felt that he cheated and humiliated the Konyak people by defecting to IK group.
A press note issued by Y. Wangtin Naga, Deputy Kilonser-Home, NSCN/GPRN (K) stated that some KU leaders informed that Tongmeth who once said that he did not want to beat the soundless drum and play the stringless guitar of S.S. Khaplang and N. Kitovi Zhimomi failed to play with sounding drum and stringfull guitar of Isak Swu and Th. Muivah, is once again trying to beat the soundless drum, which they termed as funny and shameful.
The note further termed the assassination of many unarmed NSCN (K) and NNC leaders particularly, the assassination of Late Ngampan Kilonser through their pro-Islamic Holy war of 18/05/05, V.S.Atem-Lt. Gen. Nanavatty Military pact of 1998 aiming at wiping out the NSCN (K), Rejection of NSCN (K) cease-fire offer between 1993-2004, their stage managed Grace Collin report, Isak’s declaration that unification is not a must for solution, Rio’s announcement of solution within a year including his direct sponsoring of NSCN (IM) proved to be the main factor for the NSCN (K)’s rejection of their (NSCN (IM)) offer for reconciliation. The pro-Islamic plan of massacring the Naga leaders under the cloud of reconciliation is also a matter of grave concern, the note added.
The NSCN (K) reasoned to know in what chapter of Naga Yehzabo the NSCN (IM) has been empowered to declare Holy war to murder the Naga leaders. What more else of enmity could there be to the Nagas than the V.S. Atem-Gen. Nanavaty Military pact against Naga Nationalist? What kind of peace and reconciliation is required now after the rejection of the same for the past 11 years? When Isak and Muivah declared in 2002-03 that unification is not a must for solution, why is it necessary now? Rio’s declaration of solution within a year on 2004-05 should not go in vain. When the NSCN (IM) talk and peace process is in the right direction for Rio and Naga NGOs’, why should I-K be pulled down to the wrong direction now? Keviletuo’s 80% achievement must be placed before the Nagas and the NSCN and the NSCN will search until he (Keviletuo) places it for deliberation and examination, the NSCN (K) stated.
“Therefore, the NSCN only wants that I-K terrorists must have their solution and end up their terrorism in Nagaland to let the NSCN carry out the Sovereignty movement until it is achieved. However, before their exit, the I-K terrorists should bring back the lives of the greatest Naga leaders murdered by them. Almost more than 10 unarmed Naga Kilonsers of NSCN and NNC have been murdered by them. Unless the lives of those murdered Kilonsers and Generals were given back to the Nagas, there can be no excuse”, the note further declared.
