Dimapur, July 7 (MExN): Reacting to the remarks made by David P Ward, International Coordinator, Naga Vigil Human Rights Group, that extreme caution be taken in the “self-congratulatory talks”, the NSCN-IM charged the said coordinator of harboring ulterior motive to destroy the hard-earned peace process and that he is ignorant of the “head and tail” of the Indo-Naga conflict. The NSCN (IM) also cautioned that “the world will laugh at the Nagas who knows the reputation of Mr Ward. He is informed that the Nagas can not appreciate his negative interference on the issue misinforming the world through cyber war”.
“Mr. David P Ward who does not know head and tail of the Indo-Naga conflict has been meddling in the name of international Coordinator Naga Vigil Human Rights Group with an ulterior motive to destroy the hard earn process” an MIP, GPRN statement asserted. The NSCN-IM held the view that Coordinator Ward “is supporting and magnifying the NNC/FGN and Khaplang who are Indian elements but claim to have been working for complete independence”.
Dwelling on the specifics, the NSCN-IM stated that there is a vast difference between the history of the Nagas and Jammu & Kashmir’s and opined that solution to the Indo-Naga conflict will have nothing to do with the nature of a Jammu & Kashmir-type arrangement “or 16 points of agreement” for that matter.
“Instead of engaging their entire effort in trying to find faults with the NSCN and its collective leadership, they are (advised) to say anything on their formula of solution, policies, philosophy and above all, their achievements, provided they have anything on the record” the NSCN-IM added.
“The NSCN invites all the peace loving people to be a part of solution and not the part of the problem. It has been made cleared time and again that the sovereignty of the Nagas lies with the Naga people. It cannot be negotiated. The negotiation is on the pattern of special federation relationship between two entities” the NSCN-IM stated.
The organization also appreciated the Naga International Support Centre for its contribution to the Naga movement. “We feel proud and grateful to have such committed friends like NISC who are strongly advocating our cause on the basis of true evidences. Of course, Khaplangs are writing with their limitations, cutting down to its size” the MIP statement said.
