Dimapur, Jan. 4: The NSCN (K) on Wednesday stated that the ongoing fencing of Indo-Naga-Myanmar international border by the Indian Army and the Myanmar Army “at the heart of Naga settlement i.e. Pangsha village” was totally against the wishes of the Nagas.
In a press release, the group has stated that ‘the Nagas have not been consulted or consent acquired at any stages.’ According to the statement, the fencing of the border was to ‘accentuate 1953 Nehru-U Nu arbitrary partition of Naga country and to keep the Nagas divided and marginalized permanently.’It stated: “Solidifying the imaginary borderline that runs in the middle of one’s hearth and tearing apart the one same family into two country (sic) clearly demonstrates the blatant disregard to the sentiments of the subjected people and defies the very ideals of humanity, international peace and security the two great democracies underhandedly are trying to promote in the global arena.”
It is not a mere obligation but a bounden duty of every Naga citizen to rise to the occasion and assert the rights which is inherent, it added.
