DIMAPUR, MARCH 26 (MExN): Terming as unwise the recent utterances of VS Atem, Special Emissary to the NSCN (IM) Collective Leadership, the Federal Government of Nagaland today queried, “If you (Atem) truly said; ‘you will not compromise the sovereignty of Nagaland’, are you going to relinquish the so-called NSCN? Or are you going to fight against Muivah?”
Quoting Muivah’s earlier statement which appeared as a news report in a local daily wherein he had said, “We have climbed down from our demand of absolute sovereignty and want a special federal relationship with India,” a release issued by 2nd Lt. K Chamdan of the FGN said, “But you, yourselves and the Naga people know that you and Muivah are being used by the Indian leaders to fight against the Nagas/NNC, and it is still unabated till date.”
The clash which took place at the Chakhesang Region yesterday was also mentioned. “Your fighting with the FGN (and) hobnobbing with the Indian Army is a dynamic (proof) that there was no surrender between the NNC/FGN and the Government of India,” the release said.
