Dimapur, January 9 (MExN): Continuing its criticism against the Unification Team, the NSCN (IM) today said that ‘simply inventing noise of Naga unification without the God-inspired motivation would not touch the hearts of the Nagas’ and advised the Naga public not to be carried away by the obsessive wave of Naga unification.
“What manner of social order has come to exist in Dimapur following the sinister game plan of Azheto taking the name of Naga unification? The show is being displayed for public awareness lest they are carried away by the obsessive wave of Naga unification that has now turned out to be hallowed, bereft of any sign of genuine aspiration,” said an MIP press release received here.
Saying that simply inventing noise of Naga unification without God-inspired motivation would not touch the hearts of the Nagas, the release said, “turning tragically for the Nagas is to immoral activities that immediately followed the call of WSH-SH and Azheto combined for Naga unification.”
Substantiating its earlier allegation that the Unification team is on a ‘kidnapping spree’, the release gave a ‘few examples’ of kidnapping for ransom by the Unification team and said that the non-local business community are fleeing Dimapur because Azheto gang is ‘demanding crores for ransom’.
The release alleged the Unification Team of extracting Rs 55 lakhs from ‘Transport Company’ after kidnapping the manager of the Company and Rs.90 lacs from one businessman Bahar after kidnapping him. The release also alleged that Shekar of Purana bazaar is still in the custody of Azheto group.
The statement also questioned the Nagas stating “should a person of the type of Azheto who force (to) Naga people to declare him as the traitor and his demonstrative anti-Naga integration utterances be allowed to have his way in the name of Naga unification”.
“Can kidnappers bring about Naga unification? No person of any status without moral integrity should take the issue of Naga unification to the people. This is tantamount to fooling the Naga people in order to fulfill certain agenda that is remotely linked to Naga unification,” the MIP statement stated.
The release also branded Azheto as “one notorious person” vehemently opposing the Naga integration parroting the political stand of “his adopted mentor SC Jamir who is also deadly against Naga integration and who has embraced the Indian constitution to be the standard for Naga political solution”.
Furthermore, the NSCN (IM) alleged that yesterday’s grenade explosion in Dimapur which injured one person was aimed at “Sgt/Major Qhevishe of Naga Army inside Kwality Hotel injuring him seriously along with his two other local friends”. The release alleged that the attack was carried out by combined team of assailants comprising of ‘Azheto group and NSCN (K)’ which was led by Major Vikato of Khaplang group’.
“Is this the manner to call for Naga unification?” the release questioned and added, “The Naga people must not misunderstand the restraint being exercised by NSCN in the face of provocative action by Azheto group and K-group”.
