DIMAPUR, Jan 31 NNN: NSCN-IM leaders Isak Chisi Swu and Thuingaleng Muivah today expressed sadness over the way the outfit’s cadres are behaving.
“God will never be happy with NSCN if its members keep on doing their own pleasure of works without doing the will of God,” said NSCN-IM general secretary Thuingaleng Muivah while the outfit’s chairman Isak Chsi Swu said, “If we do not do the will of God, we will be doomed, and the NSCN will be responsible for it. Because this is the era of NSCN. NSCN’s name sells both at home and abroad. We cannot afford to fail this time. We don’t have to blame heaven and earth if we fail. History says the Romans themselves brought about the downfall of the Roman Empire. NSCN will also be pulled down by the NSCN themselves. NSCN will fall when the spirit of ‘NSCN-ism’ runs out in its members; it will fall when it is not political; it will fall when the policy of its leadership is not people-based; it will fall when its approach to the world is not objective; it will fall when its members are rebellious; it will fall when there is moral degeneration in the set-up. Above all, it will fall when its members flee from the Lord”.
Swu and Muivah were delivering speeches at the ’34th NSCN Day’ celebration at Hebron, off Dimapur today.
NSCN was formed on this day in 1980 after spitting from Naga National Council (NNC).
During the course of his speech today, Thuingaleng Muivah became exortation while reminding the cadres that God will never be happy with NSCN-IM if its members keep on doing their own pleasure of works without doing the will of God.
“He made a direct reference to the present situation where it demands the members to take the right decision in order to save the Naga nation,” said the press comunique issued by the NSCN-IM this evening.
“The world has not stopped, it keeps changing. But when the people fail to understand the process of change they will be lost because they fail to take the right decision. NSCN should not fail,” Muivah pointedly asked the members to realise where they stand. The NSCN-IM general secretary then fervently appeals to all the members to take the right decision before God–to forgive their waywardness and mistakes and take steps to save the ‘Naga nation’. “We have to change by taking the right decision to ask God for forgiveness, and there is no other way to save the nation”, Muivah stated.
Meanwhile, NSCN-IM chairman Isak Chisi Swu recalled the sequences that led to the formation of the NSCN.
He said after the failure of NNC, the NSCN was formed in the national workers’ meeting at Nokpa, where the historic decision to uphold the national principle of divine right to self determination was taken. It was finally, approved by the ‘national assembly’ held at Tonu on this day, the 31st January 1980.
According to Swu, the NSCN put up an undaunted resistance against the aggression of the colossal forces of the enemies who adopted ruthless means to crush the Nagas. “Guided by their avowed neo-colonial policy, they used one Naga to fight another Naga. Instigated one group to fight another group and incited communalism between the Nagas and others with a view to keeping the Nagas divided and suppressed perpetually. But that could not dampen the spirit of the Nagas. In fact, the Naga people under the banner of NSCN stood the ground in the face of those horrible situations,” Isal Swu stated.
But sadly, some of us have run away and joined forces with the enemies to fight against their own people. The preacher says, ‘They killed God, the Son in the name of God.” Likewise, those traitors killed their people in the name of people and pulled back the wheels of history in the name of revolution.
