Dimapur, August 8 (MExN): It is “quite understandable” why the NSCN-K is getting restless “if not panic under the new sort of arrangement in the ceasefire declaration” the NSCN-IM says. According to an NSCN-IM MIP response to NSCN-K Kilonser Wangtin Naga, the rival faction is a spent force and ‘now used as a counter-revolutionary force to create and speak nuisance against NSCN.’
“As seen around the world where resistance groups exist fighting to gain their political rights, fighting is a continuous process until they sit across the table for another round of fight. Unlike Khaplang group who remain satisfied with their designated assignment by India to cause road block to NSCN political movement, NSCN has been fighting the Indian occupational forces until the Indian government realized the futility of using military means to suppress and to end the Indo-Naga issue” the MIP stated.
The NSCN-IM explained that “ceasefire is all about the undeniable outcome of more than half a decade (of) fighting between Naga army and the Indian Army.” It also asserted that the world “at large” recognizes the Naga political “stance” of the ten-year ceasefire and the number of Indo-Naga political talks in search of a final solution.
While stating that frustration leads to ‘any thing,’ the MIP maintained that the NSCN-K has condemned Naga civil societies and international support groups for “standing solidly behind political fight with India.” It added that however, “taking across the political table was the least concern for India, because India is not that foolish not (sic) to realize the reality of Khaplang group whose political vision is a mere paper demonstration and nothing beyond that because in the absence of political mission what have they to present before the government of India.”
