DIMAPUR, Oct 29 NNN: The NSCN faction headed by S.S. Khaplang said the outfit will start holding dialogue in the ‘global arena’ only after the ‘NSCN-IM solution’. The NSCN-K then asked the Isak-Muivah group not to interfere in the event of the outfit holding talks for Nagas’ independence involving the government of India and Myanmar. The NSCN-K also sends out its best wishes the NSCN-IM in its endevour for the latter’s solution. “The NSCN wishes that the government of India gives away any kind of package or solution to the NSCN IM but it (GOI) should also be ready to talk with the NSCN (Khaplang faction) for Naga Independence on the global arena,” the NSCN-K said today.
Meanwhile, the NSCN-K clarifies that the letter ‘purportedly’ written by the outfit’s chairman to Forum for Naga Reconciliation (FNR) stated that it would not stand on the way of the ongoing negotiation between the NSCN-IM and the government of India but would surely stand firm on the Indo-Myanmar-Naga political issue for Naga Independence.
“It is learnt that some people are trying to take advantage and manipulate the letter with ulterior motives towards the NSCN (Khaplang group) and confuse the Nagas but their efforts will not have any impact upon the Nagas or the NSCN as the people already knew the stand of the NSCN for sovereignty of Naga country at any cost.
The NSCN leader S.S. Khaplang is not talking about the Nagas of Myanmar only but infact he is talking about the 14th August, 1947 declaration of Naga Independence by the Nagas of Indian imposed Nagaland state, he is also talking about the 1951 plebiscite of the Nagas and the boycott of the 1952 Indian sponsored elections in the Indian imposed Nagaland state. Hence, the NSCN advises these groups and individuals that their intention to create further rift among the Nagas at this juncture is only displaying their true immature colour and the nature of their approach towards the NSCN and Naga people for their individual gains and cheap publicity,” the NSCN-K’s ‘ministry of information and publicity (MIP) said today.
“The letter of the then joint leaders clearly states that it (NSCN) will not stand in the way of IM solution for no Naga knows what is the exact contends or demands of their so-called 15 years long talk which is tightly hidden within their lips however, unfortunately the people came to know through the print media that their tight lipped talk is about solution within the Constitution of India (unacceptable to any Naga). Hence, the NSCN leader only assured that it will not interfere in the affairs of the said IM solution but in fact the NSCN leader S.S. Khaplang was happy to learn that some sort of solution is likely in the immediate future for the benefit of the IM and therefore wished them in their endeavor.
