Talks with GoI for entire Nagas, NSCN
Dimapur, February 27 (MExN): The National Socialist Council of Nagalim has said that the political dialogue between the GoI and the NSCN (IM) represents the entire Nagas and this has been going on from 1997 till today as two separate entities. A press note from the MIP informed that the NSCN had already conducted four–five Naga consultation meetings in respect of the ongoing peace talks. In January 2005 the consultation meeting was held at camp Hebron in which more than eight-thousand people representing different sections of the Naga people including the Naga Hoho, apex tribal hohos and frontal Naga public forums attended.
According to the MIP note, in this meeting the “Naga people” gave what was termed as “unequivocal mandate to NSCN leadership to carry on the political dialogue with the GoI more actively to clinch an honorable settlement for all the Nagas and the Nagalim at the earliest.” “With the strength of the aforesaid ‘mandate’ the NSCN leadership has been negotiating with the GoI,” it stated. The MIP note was responding to what it described as the “unwarranted and misleading press statement of the Kehoi campers (so-called NSCN united) carried in the local dailies on the 26th February 2010 issue.”
The NSCN (IM) stated that it was “never discouraged or buffed up by any writing or speeches made by some disgruntled people in the name of Naga freedom fighters and at the behest of their pay masters, the adversaries of the Naga people.” Pointing out that such write-ups “never harm anybody or organizations of Nagalim,” the MIP note stated that it only exhibits and magnifies “their silliness and ignorance.”
“Their writings clearly explain who they are and what their motives are. The Naga people readily understand whether they are working for the good of the Nagas or for the adversary of the Nagas. In spite of their misleading and confused write-ups the Naga people undoubtedly knows who is who and who hold the issue, and that, the NSCN under the leadership of Isak Chisi Swu, Th. Muivah and Khodao Yanthan is not a confused political organization,” the MIP note asserted.
Regarding the ongoing reconciliation and unity process, the NSCN (IM) said that it has been made amply clear it is a ‘domestic problem’ and an internal issue of the Nagas. “Reconciliation and unity process under no circumstances can condition the political dialogue between the GOI and the Nagas led by NSCN,” the MIP stated. “In their write-ups the Kehoi campers mentioned the name of Th. Muivah several times which clearly shows their immature political mindset with vested interest, biased and hatred towards a particular leader and tribe,” the NSCN (IM) said. “Th. Muivah is not talking with India for him or for his tribe” but that he “has been shouldering the rare noble responsibility on behalf of all the Nagas.”
“The GoI through its notorious agencies and some Naga idiots who have no future political vision can never undo the working of the NSCN at any cost. The NSCN is firm and determined for the righteous and sacred cause of all the Nagas,” the NSCN (IM) added.
