DIMAPUR, NOVEMBER 1 (MExN): The NSCN (IM) stated that the claim made by GPRN/NSCN NPAC Convenor, Kughalu Mulatonu that formal talks between GPRN/NSCN and the Government of India (GoI) is expected to start by March next are “repeated empty claims” and “invented stories.”
While denouncing the claim, MIP NSCN (IM) in a press statement on Tuesday asserted that, much before March 2017 the Indo-Naga political talks would have resulted to a final solution and therefore the “question of even the existence of the GPRN/NSCN would not arise by then.”
The NSCN (IM) maintained that officials of GoI have repeatedly told “Kehoi Campers” that there will be only one solution for the Indo-Naga political issue and that the on-going Indo-Naga political talk with GoI and NSCN representing Naga people is inclusive and final.
It also claimed that “cadres from GPRN/NSCN realizing the truth that they have reached a dead end are coming over in hundreds months after months to join hands with the NSCN and to further strengthen the on-going Indo-Naga peace process.”
“Therefore, to further prevent emptying their camps Mulatonu has come out with a better idea of befooling the Nagas by stating that political talks with Government of India would begin by March 2017,” the NSCN (IM) went on to add.
Maintaining that the NSCN (IM) is in the talks representing the Nagas, and knows the actual position, it has therefore urged “our people to be patient and supportive to the on-going political talks which will usher in final solution that is inclusive, honorable and acceptable to both the parties that we assured.”
