- DIMAPUR — The Working Committee (WC) of the
Naga National Political Groups (NNPG), led by its convener N Kitovi Zhimomi,
expressed concern regarding the recent incident involving Mughato Chophy,
Finance Kilonser, NSCN (Reformation).
- A press statement issued by the media cell of the WC NNPG
stated that the NNPG is set back by the factors that contributed to the
incident between the NSCN (Khango) and NSCN (Reformation) groups, while the
whole Naga nation is looking forward to an early Naga solution and marching in
peace to secure the future of the younger generation.
- The WC expressed concern regarding the steps taken by Chophy
and added that it remains to be seen whether his decision to file a First
Information Report (FIR) at the Diphupar Police Station against the intrusion
group was driven by necessity or response.

- The NNPG has raised questions as to how a revolutionary
worker like Chophy, who is himself a kilonser, sought the intervention of the
local police, which is “very much condemnable”.
- “His strategy of dragging the level of the Naga issue from
the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) to the level of the local police is
controversial, which tarnishes the spirit of the revolutionary patriots. He has
proved his ignorance as a Kilonser, so his intention as a revolutionary worker
is doubtful so far, to the extent that he is likely to be an undercover agent
of our adversary,” it said.
- Noting that the identity of Chophy is a subject of public
debate, it expressed that he should have pursued appropriate channels to
address his grievances and that it would have been prudent for him to lodge his
concerns with the chairman of the Ceasefire Supervisory Board to initiate any
necessary actions.
- Maintaining that the WC NNPG has not yet commented on the
recent incident involving the NSCN (Reformation) and NSCN (Khango), it was said
that the committee is yet to ascertain whether the recent action against Chophy
was a reaction to his provocation.
