Dimapur, July 23 NNN: The Naga National Council (NNC) has refuted to certain reports that the outfit in 1975 had signed the Shillong Accord unconditionally accepting the Constitution of India and also decommissioned dozens of weapons to the Indian authorities.
“This is a great lie and an evil campaign to lead the Nagas to hell,” the NNC said in a press communique issued by one K James. The NNC member said this allegation was hurled by “the NSCN insider” which appeared in a section of Nagaland based media on July 21.
The press communique said the Naga National Council (NNC) which was founded by the Naga people in 1946 to safeguard the sovereign independence and freedom of the Naga people as a nation never signed the Shillong Accord in 1975. K James claimed that the NNC bearing the mandate of the Naga people never accepted the Constitution of India and NNC “the parent body of the Naga nation” never decommissioned even a single weapon of the Naga nation as NNC had not been given authority by the Yehzabo (constitution) of Nagaland in dealing with the weapons of the Naga nation. “Neither A.Z. Phizo, the then President, NNC nor Imkong Meren, the then the Vice President, NNC nor Th. Muivah, the then General Secretary, NNC or nor any NNC leader signed the Shillong Accord in 1975.
If any NNC leader did sign the Shillong Accord in 1975, point out and particularize the name of NNC leader who signed the Shillong Accord of 1975. Otherwise the wrath of God will befall upon the person who lies,” the NNC press note added.
