Dimapur, November 24 (MExN): The NSCN (IM) has pointed out that the attempt on the life of Goa Governor SC Jamir this morning near Mokokchung was nothing more than ‘stage-managed’ and that it was a drama to enact fake killing to draw people’s sympathy and generate sympathy wave across Nagaland in his favour and for the Congress.
Making its first official response after the bid on the former Nagaland Chief Minister, the NSCN (IM) described the incident as “nothing surprising at all at this stage” and that a “person carrying the tag of anti-national as pronounced by NSCN” will naturally place the blame on the NSCN (IM). “A crafty politician as he is, Jamir’s game plan is at work again to begin his dirty election campaign under the shadow of top-level security cover and so is the bloody drama enacted for the purpose,” the NSCN (IM) stated through its MIP.
The NSCN (IM) also charged that under the pretext of “threat perception” on his life, Jamir had cleverly prepared the ground where he is entitled to be provided top-security arrangement, which will facilitate him to have “freewheeling movement to campaign” during the forthcoming Nagaland Assembly election.
“This well-designed drama of SC Jamir is therefore a ploy to garner undeserved votes by spreading wave of pity on people’s mind to give him the last chance to be their representative in the assembly,” the NSCN (IM) further claimed and adding that “stubbornly used to bulldozing people’s interests Jamir’s true colour is laid bare before the people”.
Under the circumstances, the outfit stated it was “constrained to be opened to the reality that if Jamir claim to have one person on his side there are one thousand people against him, ready to execute Naga people’s interest against him”. It, however clarified “for people’s conscience” that the incident is simply to “hoodwink the Naga people to serve his own election interest”.
