Dimapur, November 30 (MExN): The NSCN (IM) has come out with serious charges alleging that Goa Governor SC Jamir and NSCN (K) General Secretary Kitovi were working together to create a situation of breakdown of law and order in Nagaland so as to demand the imposition of President’s Rule in the state. The NSCN (IM) in a press note issued by its MIP section alleged that with such scheme of things both Jamir and Kitovi had worked out the plan in their meeting in Goa and Mokokchung.
The NSCN (IM) alleged that the game plan was set into motion in the evening of November 23 at 7 pm in Mokokchung when Jamir was picked up by two MLAs in two black Scorpios and proceeded straight to Dimapur to his residence at Chumukedima. “As planned, the next morning the convoy of vehicles with IRB moved out giving the seeming presence of Jamir in one of the vehicles. At the appointed hour of the ambush Jamir was already seated in the comfort of his house in Chumukedima and never on the spot as made out to be”, the NSCN (IM) claimed while adding that “such was the temerity of Jamir to blame” the NSCN (IM). “The truth must however come out if the investigation into the ambush is to be processed in true spirit and honesty”, the NSCN (IM) stated.
In this regard, it may be mentioned that the State government had on November 26 constituted a three member Special Investigation Team (SIT) to inquire into the ambush on Jamir on November 24 to be headed by CP Giri, IPS, Additional DGP (Operations). The SIT has been mandated to inquire into the circumstances leading to the ambush on November 24 and was to ascertain the identity of the perpetrators of the act and related matters thereof.
Subsequently, the NSCN (IM) claimed that the “unfolding events” went as per the game plan and pointed out to the Congress legislators in Nagaland demanding President’s Rule under the pretext of “deteriorating law and order’.
It further went on to allege that what was happening in Niuland under the “professed NSCN unification” was part of Jamir’s scheme of things and that this reflected “something destructive and not constructive for the ultimate political benefit of the Nagas”.
The NSCN (IM) stated that when the “political game plan is fixed there follows an unholy nexus between the politicians and underground elements scheming for the programme that defile human value attached with high profile public leaders”. The NSCN (IM) in this regard pointed out that Jamir who holds the gubernatorial post of Goa Governor “exercised no moral restraint to go to the extent of resorting to the dirty scheme of organizing a stage managed ambush in connivance with his brain child underground elements in the Khaplang group with the covert backing of some political leaders whose only thinking is to grab power by hook or by crook and begin a sort of war against the present set up under the Indo-Naga ceasefire”.
The NSCN (IM) in this regard asked the Government of India not to be too naïve to act in hurry “keeping in view the illogical observation of incident pointing the finger at the NSCN”. “The fact that SC Jamir comes all the way from Goa to execute this schemingly planned ambush is a fitting case of defiling the honor and respect that goes with the office of the Governor”, it stated while adding that “politics in Nagaland has gone the way of moral bankruptcy where anything is made to happen but for the heck of political power and other ulterior motive”.
