Formation of Nagaland is just one faulty entity: NSCN-K

EMN Dimapur, April 12 NSCN-K today said, the ‘hateful’ strategy by ‘self-centred’ leaders of NSCN/GPRN for the last 35 years since its formation, has created political tragedy resulting in multiple splits and near-annihilation of the ‘sacred cause’ of the Nagas. MIP,NSCN-K in a statement said, SS.Khaplang stood his ground and refused to bow down to the pressure of political schemes, devastating military machineries and deceptive plots of India and Myanmar to completely wipe out the remnants of once towering Naga national movement. The task of rebuilding and reviving the movement though mammoth a challenge was shouldered by SS.Khaplang and his unswerving loyalist who passionately committed everything to sustain the legacy passed while the rest faltered to the lure of extravagance and perverted interests, the statement said. “Every plotter uses peace, reconciliation and solution etc as their premise to stymie and cause premature demise of the struggle. Since the signing of 16 point agreement, dissection of Naga country and subsequent birth of Nagaland state as a result of illicit union between India and Naga traitors, the relatively better-off Nagas of present Nagaland state began instituting divisive and intolerant mindset against other minority Nagas acquiesced under dominant non-Naga communities/states.” Asserting that Nagas of Nagaland state must realise that the history and destiny are intertwined with the rest of the Nagas, the statemet said, the formation of Nagaland state is just one faulty entity, designed to partition and alienate the Naga family further and to deprive Nagas of the scope to establish a single amalgamated political unit inevitable for sovereign independent Nagaland. To prevent the Naga struggle under SS.Khaplang led NSCN/GPRN from becoming a formidable force to reckon with, India is conceiving another ‘elaborate web’ to disrupt and destabilise the institution. It also said, the present defiance of Wangtin and cohort against NSCN/GPRN collective decision is just another petite attempt of the enemy to demolish the Nagas’ dream of independent homeland by using feeble but blustering demagogues in the person of Wangtin and Tikhak. The NSCN-K pointed out that ceasefire abrogation is not a personal issue of any NSCN/GPRN official nor is it a conspiracy to oust anyone from any position. On the contrary, Wangtin and Tikhak attempted a botched plot to destroy the NSCN/GPRN for which they were expelled, it added. The NSCN/GPRN said it will no longer respond to ‘twisted’ allegations from expelled and dishonoured ‘traitors'. “It is however felt imperative to make corrections for Wangtin to ascribe to the bare facts before pointing fingers at others, first, quoting Wangtin’s own gibe against Mulatonu and Hokato Vusshe “I always thought Mulatonu as a farsighted leader but I learnt him to be selfish, arrogant and money monger, now that Mulatonu no longer enjoys the trust and confidence of the President, Hokato Vusshe should replace Mulatonu but I find Hokato Vusshe equally materialistic and wealth-crazed”. “Wangtin openly slandered Mulatonu and H.Vusshe in any available opportunities and demanded their expulsion on several occasions, however, Mulatonu and Wangtin bonded together to demand expulsion of Lt.Gen.Niki from NSCN/GPRN which the President flatly refused.” On allegations of Isak Sumi’s involvement in the alleged conspiracy to remove Mulatonu and Vusshe, the NSCN-K asked Wangtin to admit the truth which himself was aware how Hokato Vusshe made three to four failed assassination bid on Isak Sumi’s life. The NSCN-K recalled when Isak Sumi was travelling to the President SS.Khaplang to clarify his position, Wangtin intervened personally and silently thwarted Isak Sumi’s plan to proceed to Teka (CHQ). “On learning of Isak’s proposed visit to President, Hokato Vusshe and the likeminded in panic manipulated MIP and without any knowledge or approval from the President’s office published expulsion of Isak Sumi in local daily newspapers.” “The GHQ denied any direction from His Excellency’s office regarding Isak’s expulsion and vindicated his innocence and the then GSO-1 Maj.Gen.Nymlang advised Isak to maintain low profile and silence until the misunderstanding is sorted, however, Isak sumi in order to avoid internal disunity tendered resignation and made public declaration as quoted rightly by Wangtin.” “Isak Sumi waited for more than five months to receive “acceptance of resignation” from GHQ and Presidential office, meantime, certain factions persistently demanded Isak Sumi to appear before them with valid and official discharge papers signed by the President SS.Khaplang.” “When official correspondences to acquire discharge letters for Isak Sumi was not forthcoming, the growing apparent implied threats and being devoid of any supporting documents as demanded made Isak Sumi to rejoin NSCN/GPRN which in turn also vindicated him.” The statement clarified that Hokato Vusshe defected to Khehoi camp while Isak Sumi was no longer in the NSCN/GPRN. Similarly, Mulatonu defected when Isak Sumi was in prison at central jail Dimapur. “Therefore implying his involvement is beyond belief. Also Lt.Gen.Niki always maintained dignified intervention in any misunderstanding and never indulged in any plots to undermine any officials.” The NSCN-K maintained that defection of Mulatonu and H.Vusshe were their own creation and none has anything to do with it except for Wangtin open campaign against the two former Kilonsers.
