Kohima, August 14 (MExN): The Khaplang group of National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN) has ridiculed the rival NSCN led by Isak Chishi Swu and Thuingaleng Muivah for celebrating Naga Independence Day on August 14. Envoy to the collective leadership of NSCN (Khaplang), Kughalu Mulatonu said it was a mockery for Swu and Muivah to celebrate Naga Independence day on August 14 when Nagaland is yet to attain independence from India and Myanmar. He said Naga people know the chronology of Naga political issue from 1929 Simon Commission, 9 Point Agreement, 1951 plebiscite, 1975 Shillong Accord and so on.
Mulatonu envoy said there was no point in celebrating Naga Independence Day when Naga people are still under the yoke of government of India and Myanmar. He questioned if Nagas have achieved independence why there is a truce between NSCN (IM) and government of India. Mulatonu castigated Swu and Muivah for what he claimed fooling the Naga people to meet their selfish end at the cost of Naga political issue and vowed to continue with the struggle by NSCN (K) till Nagas get sovereignty from government of India and Myanmar. When did Isak and Muivah bring Independence for Naga people he asked?
He also questioned NSCN (IM) leaders why they had to celebrate Naga Independence day when they had massacred over a dozen of Naga National Council members in 1993 when they were on their way to Peren to celebrate Naga Independence day. It was on August 14, 1947, NNC led by A Z Phizo hoisted Naga National flag declaring independence from British which was never recognized by India. He branded Swu and Muivah as criminals who had sucked sweat and toils of Naga people in the name of Naga sovereignty and today they are contemplating to compromise with Nagas sovereignty. Mulatonu demanded NSCN (IM) leaders to spell out whether they are freedom fighters or criminals.
Swu and Muivah are currently in Camp Hebron-council headquarters near Dimapur to celebrate Naga Independence Day with their cadres and members and to brief the people of the status of the ongoing talks with the Indian leaders. NNC led by Adinno and other NNC and FGN factions are also celebrating Naga Independence Day today throughout Naga inhabited areas, except NSCN (Khaplang).
