Dimapur June 24 (MExN): The FGN has maintained that the “iron hand” policy of the NSCN (IM) is breeding hatred and enmity, which according to the former, was manifested in the recent killing of Mayarping Angkang on June 22 at Kohima “by their rival faction”. And that the NSCN (IM) should not do what it condemns.
“It is unfortunate for the Nagas that they reaffirmed again their policy of iron hand when Emo Mayarping Angkang was killed in Kohima on June 22, 2006 by their rival faction. Condemning the killing without desisting or refraining themselves from killings and violence is a mockery and ridiculous. The iron hand of Muivah bred hatred, enmity, killings and terrorism.” Tungbang, Maidan Peyu of the Ao Region, FGN, stated.
The FGN was of the opinion that “when the socialist political ideology of Th. Muivah was rejected by the Nagas, Muivah and his henchmen started to practice their policy (of) iron hand to deal with their opponents and killed more than three thousand Nagas who opposed socialism, in the past 25 years”. The FGN added the NSCN-IM condemning killings without desisting from itself indulging in killings are a mockery.
“The value of human life is equal whatsoever small or big man, a Tangkhul or other Nagas. They killed thousands of innocent Nagas in cold-blood and condemned the killing of Mayarping Angkang” the FGN asserted and added that this tantamount to making one’s own community above all Nagas.
“Such communalism and chauvinism will make more furious (the issue) and incense other Naga families and communities” it stated.
“If they really condemn the killing, they must first announce and stop killing. They should nobly admit their mistakes and relinquish the so-called NSCN set-up which is facing a failure. This is the only way to stop killing of the Nagas and will pave the way to achieve our national goal” the Maidan Peyu added.
