Dimapur, August 7 (MExN): The NNC is asked by the NSCN-K to prepare “together with the NSCN” in defense of the Nagas and the land for the matter that Th. Muivah is all set to sign another accord similar to the Shillong Accord. Making an appeal to “be one in defense” to the council, the NSCN-K also affirmed to enter into political dialogue only when the prime ministers of India and Myanmar ‘agrees to sit in the presence of third parties.’
Dy. Kilonser of the NSCN-K, Wangtin Naga, in a letter to NNC leaders appealed “we must be one in defense of sovereign Nagaland well-guarded from the jaws of our adversaries.” According to the note, Nagaland has seen bloody history after the signing of the Shillong Accord. Th. Muivah had at one time stood against the 1975 accord, however, today, he ‘has completed all formalities to sign a similar accord’ the Kilonser explained.
“The declaration of indefinite ceasefire with the GoI clearly shows their game plan and where they are heading for; therefore we must be ready to face any situation or eventualities” the NSCN-K stated. Taking a potshot, the Kilonser stated that the NSCN-IM had always ‘boasted’ that their dialogue is at the prime ministerial-level but has spent ten years with Padmanabhaih, “a retired bureaucrat.”
The NSCN-IM will achieve nothing other than surrender before the GoI by accepting an agreement under norms within the Indian Constitution, the Kilonser asserted adding that the rival group had also tried to convince the people that the NSCN-K’s talks are at “Jt.secretary level.”
On its position on the talks, the NSCN-K made clear that the organization would not enter into a dialogue with the GoI unless “it washes its hands and backs out from the terrorists’ clutches.” The NSCN-K will enter into a political dialogue only when both the prime ministers of India and Myanmar agree to ‘sit together in the presence of third parties.’
“…a time will come when Nagas will be compelled to pay back the terrorist with the same coins. Therefore, once again, I request you all to prepare yourselves to stand together with the NSCN in defense of the sovereign rights of the Nagas” the NSCN-K appealed to the NNC.
