Dimapur, Aug 6 (MExN): The Naga people never ‘demanded self-determination’ from India and even NSCN-IM general secretary Th. Muivah never ‘talked about self-determination’ when he was with the NNC, the NNC states.
According to “PS to youth president” NNC, Jessy Panmei when Th. Muivah was general secretary of NNC in 1965, he did not ‘talk about self-determination.’ However, in 2000 Muivah “dropped sovereignty” and started demanding for self-determination from India “which has nothing to do at all with the Indo-Naga conflict.”
“And now Th. Muivah’s demand for self-determination is justified by Prof. Timothy Kaping from London, UK saying ‘Israel was formed under the right to self-determination; Kosovo, Kashmiris, Kurds and are demanding self-determination etc.. the “PS to youth president” stated. In this regard the “PS to youth president” queried Prof. Kaping “when Germany invaded Poland and France in 1939, did these tow countries demanded self-determination from Germany or did they fight against the aggressor Germany in defense of their countries?”
Stating that the Nagas have been fighting against the “aggressor India” in ‘defense,’ the NNC youth queried why Prof. Kaping is projecting the Nagas as being demanding ‘self-determination’ in order to justify “Muivah’s political blunder.’ Rather than “putting salt to wounds” Prof. Kaping should heal the wounds by pressurizing Muivah to “admit his mistake and stop killing the Nagas.”
