Dimapur, May 21 (MExN): The NSCN/GPRN denounces the “current activities” of the Assam Rifles and says that the Government of India must not “provoke us to expose all the evils of India before the world.” A note from the group’s ‘MIP’ today also listed some incidents alleging “crimes” by the Indian military forces on the Naga underground functionaries.
The MIP said, “If the Assam Riffles are so active and brave” in an “island of peace” like Nagaland, they should be sent to the Chinese and Pakistan borders or Afghanistan and Iraq to prove their worth.
“The Government of India vociferously call for early amicable solution of the vexed Indo-Naga political problem on one side and unleash a reign of terror on the Naga, particularly the NSCN cadres on the other,” the ‘MIP’ stated. The “sincerity” of the NSCN towards peace between the two entities should not be taken as a weakness and the government of India must not “provoke us to expose all the evils of India before the world.”
According to the NSCN/GPRN, “we never do or create any troubles in the areas of other people. We are only defending our own homeland and will continue to defend it till the last drop of Naga blood.” The note said that on May 19, 2011, the 16th Assam Riffles raided the private residence of “deputy kilonser” KK Angami at Chedema village and “stolen away” some documents, ammunitions and about Rs.5 lakhs while two innocent youths were also arrested.
On May 20, 2011, the note said the 5th Assam Riffles raided the houses of “some NSCN functionaries” at Senapati of Manipur and “stolen” documents, Rs. 1 lakh cash, computer and a laptop, the MIP said. Five NSCN cadres were arrested but the public did not allow the Assam Riffles to take away the cadres to Imphal, the note said. The AR also took away two AK Series gun, one Carbine and 2 9mm Pistols along with magazines and live bullets from “Maram thangal” region office.
Likewise, the MIP stated, the 41 Assam Riffles are “creating troubles and giving harassments” to the NSCN cadres in Wokha ‘every now and then’. “Besides, in the most of the Naga areas the Indian armed forces, specially the Assam Riffles are continuously doing provocative acts and causing loss of lives and properties to the NSCN cadres which are banned by the ceasefire between the GoI and the NSCN.”
The MIP explained it this way – “If the Assam Riffles are so active and brave, then what are they doing in the island of peace like Nagalim? Send them to Chinese and Pakistan borders or send them to Afghanistan or Iraq and let them prove their worth.”
Questioning whether the Government of India and its armed forces realize and respect their commitments in the ceasefire agreement, the MIP note said, “Ceasefire is ceasefire”. “Don’t make any excuse or pretext.”
Claiming Nagaland to be “an Island of peace in the entire Asia continent” the NSCN/GPRN queried whether the Government of India and its armed forces think that the “Nagas take the fourteen years of ceasefire and thirteen years of political dialogue too lightly.” Saying that the NSCN takes it “too seriously”, the MIP note said “our determination and commitment to find an honorable and peaceful settlement of the political issue we are maintaining sustained patient in spite of all kinds of provocations from the Indian side.” The government is told to restrain the armed forces specially the Assam Rifles.
