Dimapur, January 4 (MExN): “The beginning should be right to justify the end. Any program that fails to reflect this dictum is doomed to meet failure” stated a MIP, GPRN release today. The statement shared that “the disgraced unification group let by Azheto Chophy failed to capture the imagination of the Nagas, as they were never inspired by the genuine thirst for Naga unification but the greed for land, money and power drove them to go for the mischievous venture.” Reminding that rationality reflects credibility, the statement questioned “where is the need to fear for adopting pragmatic approach, given the complexities that lay on the road to Naga unification?”
The MIP statement unreservedly stated that “mixing and collaborating with the people who have no standing reputation in defending the principle that has guided the Naga political struggle can never win the trust of the Naga people” citing Azheto and his failure, brought about by overrating himself and daring to start the unification program on wrong footing.
Informing that while the forgiving hand extended by NSCN/GPRN was never responded, the MIP statement alleged how Azheto has “impregnated his supporters in the civil societies with the false show of seriousness that the Naga unification can be processed from the backdoor”.
Digging at the casual attitude and rebellious trend of peace building of the unification group, the MIP statement stated that “this only goes to reflect the sinister game plan under the covert operation of bringing Naga unification” reflecting their obnoxious behaviour.
Terming the response from Western Sumi Youth front as significant, the MIP statement shared “this will be considered as a positive development till something proves otherwise”. Responding to the WSYF’s demands for proof and evidence, the MIP statement appealed the Sumi youth organization to comment on the arms training going on at Kowokhu; snatching of arms from NSCN cadres; the seized camouflage suits and air guns; collection of arms and ammunitions from shops in Dimapur and the neighboring places of Assam; etc. Concluding the MIP, GPRN questioned as to “what are all these activities for?” and whether the WSYF have a clean hand on these illegal programs?
