Dimapur, February 12 (MExN): The National Socialist Council of Nagalim (NSCN) has pointed out that reactionary forces cannot claim to represent people’s interest under the stolen name of NSCN and that “the Khaplang group” was “desperately eying the attention of the Naga people to be accepted as a bonafide organization” and “misleading the people and the press on the non-existence issue of who carry the name “NSCN” to represent the Naga people’s political struggle”. The National Socialist Council of Nagalim was responding to the notice earlier given to the media by the National Socialist Council of Nagaland that the nomenclature NSCN be used to address the organization.
“In the name of survival under the nomenclature of NSCN, anything that goes to commit effrontery is to be taken as nothing short of lying to the people”, a press note from the MIP stated. It pointed out that the Khaplang group bereft of any political morality was “begging to be given the nomenclature of NSCN. This, the MIP stated was in order to come in line with the policy as “prodded by the Home Ministry’s intelligence agencies whose hidden agenda with Khaplang group is to support Khaplang group’s existence as a counter-force against NSCN”. And this is best served by still sticking to the name of NSCN, the MIP stated. The National Socialist Council of Nagalim pointed out that the only claim for Khaplang group was by virtue of its forceful but unwarranted support by the government of India to fulfill its suppressive nature governing the North East States.
The MIP note gave a brief historical note on abortive coup under SS Khaplang and “Brig.” Kholi and described this as the “bloodiest ever massacre into the ranks of the NSCN claiming over two hundred lives of revolutionary patriots”. It also alleged that this as a well-organized conspiracy directed by the Indian Intelligence Bureau (IB). “They concocted the story that Messrs. Isak Chishi Swu and Th. Muivah are processing to work out a solution with India (within the Indian Union) and secondly, to do away with all the Konyak and Pangmi national workers to seize all arms to surrender them to India”, the MIP note stated.
It pointed out that “S.S. Khaplang and his mercenaries became the tool of the adversary in spreading this sheer fabrication among the workers and villages, whipping up bitter antagonism”.
The MIP noted that following this national crisis, the historic National Assembly of NSCN was held at “Jordan Camp” on 17th November 1989, and condemned S.S. Khaplang for his crime against the nation and expelled him from the organization once and for all. The Assembly on the other hand reaffirmed the leadership of Messrs. Isak Chishi Swu and Th. Muivah as Chairman and General Secretary respectively, the MIP stated and as such, the media groups have been requested to take this historical fact into account and thereby avoid creating further confusion to the people. “The reactionary forces cannot claim to represent people’s interest under the stolen name of NSCN”, it stated.
