Dimapur, July 30 NNN: The NSCN faction led by S.S.Khaplang will not accept anything that is less than ‘Naga Sovereignty’ with regard to any possible settlement brought about by parties involved in the dialogue with the government of India.
This ‘official declaration’ of the NSCN-K comes amid ever rising speculations on the possible inking of agreement soon between the NSCN led by Isak Chisi Swu and Thuingaleng Muivah with New Delhi.
The ‘ official declaration’ signed by chairman of the NSCN-K S.S.Khaplang which was made available to Newmai News Network by the outfit’s publicity secretary Sangso Mongzar this evening said,” With regard to the possible political solution within the Indian Constitution, the NSCN/GPRN (NSCN-K) will reject it unless it is a sovereignty of the Nagas.”
Meanwhile, terming the Indian elections as “forced Indian elections” (on the Nagas), the NSCN-K said those elections are nothing to do with the Nagas’ struggle for sovereignty.
And cautioning those concerned elements in connection with the next Nagaland assembly election, the NSCN-K in its ‘official declaration’ said that if any cadre of its outfit is found involving in the said election the outfit’s authority will penalise him or her according to the outfit’s laws and rules laid down in its yezhabo (constitution).
“The NSCN/GPRN under the leadership of S.S. Khaplang hereby issues that, it will not involve in the forced Indian election in the so called Nagaland state to be held in the year 2013,” the NSCN-K declaration said.
“That, the Indian election has nothing to do with the Nagas’ struggle for sovereignty. The Naga Nation had held its Plebiscite in 1951 with 99% voted for sovereignty and thereafter, rejected the first Indian election of 1952,” said the ‘official declaration’ of the NSCN-K.
