Dimapur, October 16 (MExN): The NSCN/GPRN-Khaplang today said that its “decision to deal with Azheto Zhimomi” is not for his role as a political leader or as a timber business man “but for individual criminal activities.”
The organization said “wishes to inform that the government’s decision to deal with Azheto Zhimomi is not for his role as a political leader or as the president of the timbers’ union but for individual criminal activities.”
According to a note from the NSCN/GPRN Khaplang ‘MIP,’ the “fact” that cadres from “the Khehoi group arrested supposedly-NSCN cadres from his residence” have “proven” that the MLA is “harboring, sheltering and using the Khehoi campers.” “It is not by coincidence that the Khehoi cadres were present in his residence,” the group said.
The NSCN Khaplang also said “the so-called Hemail Sumi” is not a member of the NSCN. “The statement issued by the Khehoi group in the newspapers claiming that Hemail was acting at the behest of our Emissary to the Collective Leadership, Kughalu Mulatonu, is totally concocted as he had never met Mr. Mulatonu personally or even contacted him telephonically,” the organization said.

The NSCN/GPRN Khaplang called as “laughable” that the ‘Khehoi group’ is “claiming that Mr. Mulatonu used Rs.4.86 crore when he was Kilonser for only 40 days. On this, the NSCN Khaplang challenges the Khehoi group to show evidence and publish in the newspapers within one or two days. On this, we assure you that any individual found guilty and using the name of the government will not be spared.”
“The Khehoi group led by Khole and Kitovi has proven by their actions that it is not aware of the realities behind the Naga political issues and is only interested in disturbing the peaceful atmosphere and encouraging bloodshed, violance and enmity in Nagaland, particularly in Dimapur and Kohima.
Therefore, the Khehoi gang has no moral right to judge the NSCN as it is they who have taken the offensive approach,” the note said.
Further, the NSCN Khaplang asked the ‘Khehoi campers’ to spell out “whether it intends to continue to work for individual gains rather than the Naga political cause.”
“The NSCN does not expect or demand sovereignty or independence from the Khehoi group and likewise, they should not act as if it expects to attain sovereignty from the NSCN. The NSCN is aware of what peace and unity among the Nagas is and, therefore, it advises the Khehoi group not to issue childish statements to confuse the Nagas,” the MIP note added.
