KOHIMA: The NSCN (K) has alleged that yesterday’s public rally organized by the mass-based civil societies led by the Naga Council, Dimapur at the City Tower, Dimapur was done at the behest of the NSCN (IM) after spending over a crore of rupees. It further alleged that the organization (NSCN-IM) had paid off lakhs of rupees to various NGOs including Naga Hoho, NSF, NPMHR and DMC for engineering the “public rally”.
It may be mentioned that a mammoth public rally was organized City Tower, Dimapur on Monday urging the Government of India for an early solution to the protracted Naga political problem within the current ceasefire period of New Delhi and the NSCN (IM). The ongoing New Delhi-NSCN (IM) ceasefire expires on January 31, 2006.
Talking to NEPS over phone from somewhere in Mon district here on Tuesday, Kughalu Mulatonu, Finance Kilonser of the NSCN (K) alleged that despite paying such huge amount of money to various mass-based Naga NGOs to engineer the public rally, the armies of the rival group had even gone to various colonies forcing residents to participate the rally.
The NSCN (K) leader charged that the NSCN (IM) led by Th Muivah as a “terrorist organization” and further warned the Government of India against having settlement to the long drawn out “Indo-Naga political issue” with the group. He also urged the Government of India not to continue the ceasefire with the group as “no Naga is ever concerned on Muivah’s political talks.”
Mulatonu also assured the “Meeteis of Manipur” that there would be no “territorial conflicts” between the “Nagas and the Meeteis” and further asserted they would continue to remember and maintain their “aged old traditional bonds.”
Disclosing about the camping of some Indian Army generals in Myanmar and their operations against the outfit in central Saigang areas, the NSCN (K) Kilonser said their cadres have not suffered much this week, but those innocent villagers become the ultimate victims in those areas. “I am told that another Brigade is moving to join the operations but such development would not weaken the spirit of the NSCN,” he added.
