I as Human being regretted and all my heart melted down for what had happened today where my beloved Baba S.S.Khaplang is made to hate me by some selfish and visionless people for their cheap popularity and personal gain. From day one of my joining the Naga national movement under Baba leadership till the day he expelled me, I have served selflessly as if I am working in my own field. I have represented Baba in all good times and bad times but, Baba fail to realize that I am his face everywhere.
For the last two and half years, I have predicted this situation and therefore I have written two times long epistle letter with all details of what went wrong in his administration but, Baba did not study what was ahead and he always misunderstood me. Since, I miserably failed in all my attempts to convince him, I have humbly submitted my resignation letter on 14th April 2014 from two Ministries i.e, MIP and Public Relations and NGO’s as warning bell but Baba fail to understand what I meant at that point of time.
Whatever, the situation might have cropped up, I as human being indebtedness to Baba for his guidance to shape me to my present position. I felt regretted that, Baba might disapprove the deed of commitment signed in third Chiangmai Naga Reconciliation meet for not using non Naga forces against other fellow Nagas.
This deed was signed with good intention for the good of all the Nagas as no Naga use non Naga forces against other Nagas. For which, I am tendering un-qualified apology to my great Baba as no son has any bad intention towards his father.
On third Chiangmai Naga Reconciliation meet, the words of Gods came through one prophet saying, “This reconciliation is my creation and whoever betray and abuse this reconciliation will be up-rooted”. I have appeal to Baba not to back out from Naga Reconciliation under any circumstances but, all my efforts failed and without consulting his cabinet and council, Baba severed ties from Naga reconciliation against the words of God, which brought him first curse in the form of dividing his government vertically into two groups as Anti-reconciliation group and Pro-reconciliation group, leaving behind only me and Mr. Tikhak in his side and all the rest of the kilonsers and workers sided with the pro-reconciliation group led by Baba Khole and Kitovi. Tikhak and I have supported Baba not because he is right but, only because he is our Baba. The second curse strikes him in the form of present situation. Baba must humble down before God , his creator.
All my selfless sacrifices for more than ten years have been thrown out by Baba with simple word ‘EXPULSION’, which really shock me only because I firmly stand for peace and Naga reconciliation under the ceasefire atmosphere. Baba have gone too far, never to be returned to his senses and so far he has expelled more than 30 kilonsers from his government with reason, only known to him.
I have accepted all hardship and difficulties while defending Baba from both the GOI agencies and other Naga groups. Even on 26th of March 2015, I left for Chumukedima CFSB meeting without knowing the secret conspiracy hatched by vested interest where, I have been picked up and detained for more than 6(six) hours by the Indian Army at Assam in retaliation to Kohima shooting and Wokha bomb blast, in which I was supposed to be killed in place of Baba. Had I knew of the conspiracy, I would not have travel in Assam. All these difficulties and hardship came on my head only because I am Baba’s face in all situations. But, Baba fail to understand my position and expelled me on the advice of someone.
Whatever the situation had happened, my relationship with Eastern brother and sister (Myanmar side) will continue. I still remember and thankful to all Nagas in Khamti,Myanmar, who welcomed the NSCN team with great joy in April 2012 , when we came for ceasefire agreement. Special thanks to Naga Yuya and Naga MPs of Myanmar for their co-operation, simplicity and generosity.
Also thanks to Naga Baptist Convention, Myanmar (Khamti) for their ceaseless prayer support during ceasefire agreement with Myanmar authority. I also cannot forget the contributions of Rev. Sein Moung, Executive Secretary, Naga Baptist Convention, Myanmar and Rev. Khosai who have translated all ceasefire related documents into Myanmar language. I will try to meet all these leaders elsewhere or in abroad. My respect for Baba will continue till his last breath although, we live in different home.
Y.Wangtin Naga,
