Dimapur, January 2 (MExN): The Khaplang-led NSCN has asked the Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India, to take action against the “Kehoi campers” (Khole/Kitovi-led GPRN/NSCN) for what the former alleged as “violation of ceasefire ground rules.”
Chairman of the Ceasefire Supervisory Board Y Wangtin Naga issued a copy of a letter addressed to Joint Secretary, Northeast In-charge, Shambu Singh, today. According to Wangtin, 50-armed cadres are being kept at GPRN/NSCN leader N Kitovi Zhimomi’s house at Amiphoto for more than five months under the command of one “lt. col. Hevuto” and “now being guarded by Assam Rifles.” The house is neither an office nor a designated camp, the letter said.
The letter demanded that the Government of Nagaland “should stop providing Nagaland Police escorts to N Kitovi Zhimomi for transportation of arms and ammunitions to their cadres on the pretext of unofficial tours.”
The NSCN Khaplang alleged, “Illegal protection given to 50 armed cadres of Khehoi campers at Kitovi residence, an unauthorized location, outside the preview of ceasefire whereas, NSCN cadres are not even allowed in the villages by the Assam Rifles.” No protection was given to NSCN’s Ceasefire Supervisory Board “sub-office at Dimapur”, the letter said, “… but guarding the 50 cadres of Khehoi campers at Kitovi Zhimomi’s house to run terror in Zunheboto.”
Further, Wangtin said the Konyak apex organizations decided in the month of August 2011 that no designated camp should be given to the Khole-Kitovi group in Mon district. “However, on contrary to the mandatory decision of the Konyak people, Khole-Kitovi group forced at the gun point to the elders of Aopao village under Aboi sub-division (Mon district) and constructed few numbers of houses without the approval of CFSB and district administration,” the letter said.
“Therefore, your good office may take appropriate action,” stated the letter to the Home Affairs ministry.
