Misleading propaganda war of Indian Intelligence Agency against NSCN
Oking, the 26th May, 2024
While India has resorted to indulge in proxy war against the National Socialist Council of Nagalim (NSCN) with the well-established nexus between the KNA (B) and PDF with the AR (Assam Rifles), a highly orchestrated social media warfare is being explored by the Indian intelligence agency using the tribal card to create fissure within NSCN, desperate to setting on fire the tribal sentiment. The modus operandi is to use fictitious Naga names belonging to certain tribes and writing provocative articles. The National Socialist Council of Nagalim (NSCN) had recently come across an article followed by counter article under the titles, “MUIVAH IS A PROBLEM, NOT THE SOLUTION.” This was followed by counter article titled; “RENDERING POLITICAL EDUCATION TO ZASIVITUO ANGAMI.” A fictitious Tangkhul name was used as the author of the article. What has really caught our eyes was when the names of the revered Naga national leaders Mr. AZ Phizo and Mr. Th. Muivah was used playing the tribal card to create destructive storms on tribal lines among the Angamis and the Tangkhuls. These articles were made to go viral in the social media platforms. The irony is we could see through the carefully considered social media strategy with the filthiest purposes, the most disgusting kind of propaganda that played with the sanctity of the Naga national leaders.
AZ Phizo and Th. Muivah have their respective place in the history of Naga political struggle. It was because of their tireless works that the world came to know better about the political rights and identity of the Nagas as a people and as a nation. It was Phizo who led the Nagas from the front and declared the Naga Independence and conducted the Naga plebiscite to reaffirm the sovereign will of the Naga people to live as an independent sovereign nation. The Naga people, young and old must appreciate and give due honour and respect to uncle Phizo for what he had done for the Nagas and their righteous cause at the right time. He had dedicated his entire life bearing the unbearable burden living in exile in London till his last breath. Had there been no Phizo who had done so much for the political cause of the Nagas, the political status of the Nagas today would have been a different story today.
It was Th. Muivah who came into the Naga political scene and had played his role in the Naga political movement with tireless commitment to the political goals laid down by AZ Phizo and work with dedication; persistent and well-focused. It was under his firebrand revolutionary leadership that the political status of the Naga nation with sovereign rights has been given a new meaning by the Government of India after the historic Framework Agreement of the 3rd August, 2015. The political significance of the agreement pointed to the recognition of the Naga independence declaration on the 14th August, 1947 and the Naga plebiscite of the 16th May, 1951 to reaffirm the Naga independence as the sovereign will of the Naga people.
All said and done, the Nagas wouldn’t be naïve enough to be carried away by misleading communal divisive propaganda waged by the Indian intelligence agency to erode the NSCN.
