DIMAPUR, MARCH 17 (MExN): The NSCN Khaplang has stated that the “explicit pronouncement of virtual surrender of the Nagas aspiration” by N. Kitovi Zhimomi on 29th February reconciliation programme and his “stern caution that further lives would be lost and blood shall flow if the Nagas opposes the betrayal already proposed by him” was indeed coming true. “In the entire history of the struggle, the Nagas have never witnessed a masked killers acting as vigilante, for the issue is inherently about identity, self-determination and legitimately political”, stated a press note issued by the MIP.
Pointing out that the “true Naga national workers have never been ashamed to fight the enemy openly and honourably”, where as it stated that the recent “assassination bid” on NSCN/GPRN, Sumi Region’s Vice-Chairman at Zunheboto on 15th March 2012 tells an entirely different story.
“The masked gunmen sneaked into the town area through the drainage channel and fired at the victim in full automatic fire, the bullet pock marks in the shop unmistakably testify that the shots were never fired in the air, the shop where the Vice-Chairman took cover was indeed on the ground and the sustained injury on the finger exposes Kitovi’s hollow justification”, stated the MIP. “The civilians in the area bore witness to how the desperate masked killers attacked the victim”.
The MIP press note described Kitovi’s reputation as “one chronic and thick skinned liar” stating that this was nothing new and pointing out that “he would go to any extent to realise his goal of betrayal and would still try to justify the treason, but how long can he fool the Nagas?”
