Is reconciliation and unity so important even at the cost of Naga sovereignty: P. Tikhak

Khole who is an illiterate must surely not be aware of what is appearing in the media every day. All that comes in the media is all construed and bereft of facts. An old man in his nineties must also be mentally imbalance which is why he has started taking all credits. Today he claims to have save Chairman S.S. Khaplang, the other day I came across a news article wherein he claimed to have save the life of Isak and Muivah. I feel pity for the old sick man who is completely under the control of Ketovi. Who is holding him as a pawn and using him left and right for his petty benefits.
Otherwise, it was Khole, who affectionately sports one camouflage jacket brought from China during the early days of Naga movement and he use to tell the Naga Army confidently that, he will never put-off his jacket until Naga people gets Independent. It was Khole who promised his Konyak people that, he will never step across the International border unless Naga gets independent. May I ask Khole on behalf of his people, where are his promises?  Unfortunately he is no more our hero. He is now talking only about Nagaland state, he is enjoying a lavish lifestyle who, otherwise spent all his youthful days and almost all his life in the jungle of eastern Nagaland dreaming that, one day Naga would become independent and die as a national hero. It is sad that, he has forgotten the sacrifices made by his very own people the Konyaks, Pangmis,Lainongs, Khimyungngan, Sangtam, Phom, Yimchunger, Tangsang who died protecting him and his leadership. Sadly, all the martyrs of yesterday who sacrificed their life under the then army chief Konyak and his own sacrifices for his people and the Naga nation is now cooked and construed by some inexperienced and undergraduate boys in the name of MIP.
Let me also remind Mr. Khole that, both Khoiwang and Pohwang being Konyak and since all three of them comes from the same community, there was always an affinity towards each other and for that reason with the undivided NSCN(K). They are upholding the teachings and principles of none other than Khole who had always advice them not to abandon the Tangsang brothers of eastern Nagaland under any circumstances. They are the true leader of the Konyak people. Therefore, it is not Khoiwang or Pohwang rather it is Khole who has strayed away and is now a changed person and who has not only betrayed the Konyaks but the entire Eastern Nagas.
On reconciliation let me remind the Naga people that, it was chairman Khaplang who even before the Reconciliation process was started has strongly advocated for forgive and forget policy among the Naga groups. Although, it couldn’t be materialize, the fact that Khaplang was among the signatory of Covenant of Reconciliation is a known fact. And in fact, the reconciliation process could reach this far only because chairman Khaplang agreed to the reconciliation process during the undivided NSCN (K). Therefore, the commitment of Khaplang for peace and reconciliation is unquestionable. We withdrew to register our protest on the high-handedness of the NSCN (IM) who failed to abide by the resolution. Therefore, it is NSCN (IM) who are answerable to the general Naga people on their act of violation on the agreed resolution on reconciliation. Do Kitovi and Khole think that, they would be talking about reconciliation today had not Khaplang signed the covenant of reconciliation? Coming to the point of reconciliation and unity as a pre-requisite for a settlement with the GOI, I think every lay man knows it but, is reconciliation and unity so important even at the cost of Naga sovereignty? The point is Ketovi, a man minus wisdom is under the complete grip of the Indian agencies. He was instrumental in convincing Khole to weaken Khaplang and his demand for sovereignty. Indian agencies wanted to delink the Nagas of eastern Nagaland and western Nagaland and for that, Kitovi was used. A lot of promises were made to him and was also paid handsomely. Kitovi played a pivotal role to divide the NSCN in the interest of the Indian agencies. He is the chief betrayer of the Naga people, which the coming generation will always remember. On Wangtin and Mulatonu, I must say that, they are much above from the likes of Kitovi and his criminal gangs. They are in their senses and are upholding the popular demand of the Naga people for sovereignty.
