Kholi-Kitovi espousal of Eastern and Western Nagaland is yet another ideology of further partitioning the Nagas rather than dismantling the arbitrarily imposed artificial boundaries by Myanmar and India upon the Naga people and her country.
Since the forceful partition of Naga territory into Myanmar and India in the year 1953, by the then Prime Minister of India Mr.Jawaharlal Nehru and Burmese Prime Minister U.Nu, without the consent or consultation of the Naga people.
The Nagas, regardless of the imaginary political barrier imposed, have been fighting together side by side, through thick and thin, been enduring untold miseries, turmoil and immeasurable sacrifices of precious lives all together. The history of the Naga struggle for self-determination had since then been written in bloods.
Despite persistent efforts of the enemies to undo the blood bond of the Nagas living across India and Myanmar, the history and political realities of the Nagas could never be subdued.
However, to the embarrassment of our pioneers and discredit of our national legacies, the fickle minded Kholi-Kitovi band of traitors has now become the vocal mouth piece of India to accentuate the same partition.
On the issue of NSCN/GPRN peace and political process with Myanmar, any politically sane Naga would welcome it as positive progress. Since the issue is between India, Nagaland and Myanmar, it is but only logical to initiate the processes with the contending entities.
The NSCN/GPRN under SS.Khaplang’s leadership is opportune enough to have reached the international political status of having been able to engage both India and Myanmar so as to begin a new era of pan-Naga political struggle irrespective of arbitrary territorial demarcation.
The NSCN shall therefore steadfastly pursue the cherished goal of the Nagas without any biasness, preferences or territorial limitations.
Kholi-Kitovi has chosen their path(Nagas of Nagaland) and the NSCN would neither interfere nor question their choices since it has nothing to do with NSCN pursuits of Naga political goal.
Instead of being terrified at the progress of NSCN/GPRN under SS.Khaplang’s leadership, Kholi-Kitovi may silently and peacefully conclude it’s objectives.
Under India or Myanmar, Nagas are Nagas, every Naga is indispensible to the NSCN’s struggle, Kholi-Kitovi therefore should not look at the NSCN like a sour grape as done by the unsuccessful fox.
Myanmar occupied Nagaland had ever been the backbone of the Naga struggle and will ever be, the NSCN/GPRN shall never differentiate between the Nagas of India or Nagas of Myanmar, every Naga included and accounted for is the elixir of the NSCN/GPRN for ultimate nationhood.
