DIMAPUR, AUGUST 22 (MExN): In the backdrop of reports of the NSCN (K) issuing a quit notice to the Tangkhul tribe and the former severing its ties with civil organizations like Naga Hoho, NSF, NPMHR and others, the Amsterdam based Naga International Support Center (NISC) has vehemently denounced what it termed as “discriminatory behavior”.
The NISC called on the Khaplang Group “to not only revoke its ludicrous quit notice, but to rejoin the Naga family and to come and reconcile on the basis of open discussions to resolve old disputes. I am sure Nagas are well aware that communication creates chances to straighten out differences “, the NISC stated in a press communiqué.
The NISC stated that to describe the Tangkhuls as a criminal tribe and declaring all of them to vacate Nagaland was “a dictatorial act, an act of racism too”.
“To haughtily and unsubstantially smear a particular tribe and the civil organizations who stand for the rights of the Nagas as whole is much more than an act of vindictiveness or of jealousy, it is an act of overindulgent arrogance based on nothing more than the fear of losing support”, the NISC stated.
The NISC also alleged that it was “well known of the support the K Group receives from the Indian Government. If you dare Khaplang Group then reveal what is your real vision, policy and agenda, it stated while asking whether it was “to settle old scores brutally over the backs of all Nagas?; to get support for just Nagaland State to get some kind of autonomy?”.
