Dimapur, Oct 3 (MExN): The Federal Government of Nagaland (FGN) has asserted that the Chakhesang Region and territory is the NNC/FGN’s and that no Chakhesang should go against this.
“The declared stand of the Chakhesang people is to uphold the NNC/FGN. Therefore, Chakhesang Region and territory is NNC/FGN territory. Any Chakhesang going against this common stand makes himself an outcast” stated Col Sishu Theba, Commander, 5 Bde, Naga Army FGN, reacting to a statement issued by Venuhu, CAO of Chakhesang Region, NSCN-IM. He questioned why Venuhu should ‘mix up with Tangkhuls’ and bring them to Chakhesang Region to work and terrorize his people, if he is a true Chakhesang.
“What can be logic in this and how can he call himself a leader of the Chakhesangs. Asking Tangkhuls to leave Pfutsero in peace is much more honorable that shedding blood in hatred” he stated. He also appended that serving a quit notice may be deplorable to those who are under the notification but it is more precious to protect the sacred age-old values and way of life of the people so that they can live in liberty and harmony.
“Each and every region has its own autonomy where every individual enjoys liberty. Serving a quit notice is not ethnic cleansing but cleansing the society of terrorist elements and criminals so that human liberty will be restored” stated Col. Sishu adding that CAO Venuhu deserves to be expelled from the Naga society for life. The release added that the Chakhesang people can look after their own affairs without intervention of outsiders.
