DIMAPUR, MARCH 7 (MExN): Yaruiwo (President) of the NSCN (IM) Isak Chishi Swu has expressed displeasure over the present functioning of members of the organisation. In his speech at the opening session of their Budget, Swu said, “Ceasefire time is not for pleasure, laziness and recreation.” Saying that the NSCN has chosen “the negative way,” Swu questioned, “Have we been drawn away from our sacred cause by worldly charms, pleasures and attractions in the last eight and half years?” Quoting the Bible from Isaiah 53:6, he went on to say that nobody is above the Nation and, therefore, “we must search our hearts and do away with ideas of self enrichment, selfishness and self righteousness.”
“Today, India’s state sponsored agents have recognized our vulnerability in many aspects. The moral principle that we so highly valued and practiced has gone down drastically.” NSCN has lost one precious thing: Discipline, he said.
While stating that the “good God” raised the NSCN from the zero point to the highest level, Swu said, “As we deliberate on the many issues confronting us, let this budget session also be an occasion to broaden our horizon economically.”
Swu’s questionnaire for his cadres
• How shall we respond to the growing criticism over our individualistic attitudes?
• Are we prepared militarily in the event of any eventualities?
• What course of action do we pursue to strengthen the Army wing as well as the Civil set up?
• What necessary steps are we taking to tighten our loose administration?
• What is the relationship between the national workers and the general public both in towns and villages?
