Dimapur, Feb 12 (MExN): Threats and intimation of the NSCN-IM far outweighs Chairman Isak Chishi Swu’s proclamation of ‘forgiveness and reconciliation’, says the NSCN-K.
Kilonser Athrom Konyak quoted Swu proclaiming “forgiveness and reconciliation” urging those who committed political crimes to ask for ‘forgiveness’ from the people. “(Swu’s) forgiveness and reconciliation proclamation was very much outweighed and overshadowed by his threats and intimidations in which his statement (cautioning any attempt to exploit the proclamation)….more to occupy new area, or encroachment would be firmly resisted” stated the Kilonser, quoting Swu. The Kilonser also noted that Swu had ordered his cadres to be on maximum alert and be combat ready. The note from the Kilonser questioned where Isak had reserved any area for his cadres or if any were purchased.
“After proclaiming forgiveness and reconciliation, he issued the strongest ever threats to other. Is it practicable?” the Kilonser queried. Noting that Isak had “pardoned” those who had “committed political crimes against NSCN” and that forgiveness be sought, the NSCN-K asserted that it is in fact Swu and Muivah who should ask for forgiveness for crimes against the Naga people. “It is known to everybody that Isaac and Muivah were rescued from the jaws of death in the hands of pro-accordists (Shillong Accord) in 1979-79 by then Col.Khjole, who was deputy chief of Naga army. But when they were released from the hands of their captors, Th.Muivah, heartless and bloodthirsty man, arrested the present Gen. Khole along with Supong and Mayanger at Hasik GHQ. Muivah snatched even Khole’s pistol and handed over to his Tangkhul captain. I was an eyewitness to this event” the Kilonser stated. Muviah found hard to respect his rescuer and Godfather Khole Konyak, the Kilonser asserted adding that Swu and Muivah are taking the name of God in vain. “Even if men forgive them, I believe God will never forgive them for shedding the blood of thousands of Naga Christians” he added.
