If attack is wrong, so is counter-attack: Zeliang
The Telegraph | June 14
Q: There has been no statement from you on the June 4 ambush and the subsequent attacks by India's army inside Myanmar....
A: Whether it's in Manipur or Assam or Nagaland, such an attack (by militants) is not welcomed by the people. Our fear is that any situation leading to fights between the underground (militants) and the army will sabotage the peace talks. We condemn such action. As for the army attack in Myanmar, it's between the Myanmarese and Indian governments. We are in the dark about it. But if the first attack is wrong, so is the counter-attack.
Q: Why do you think the NSCN(K) walked out of the ceasefire? Is it because the peace process, which began in 1997 with the NSCN (I-M) (the NSCN-K truce was signed in 2001), has turned out to be unending without any final outcome?
A: Before the government of India accepted the abrogation of the ceasefire, the Nagaland government should have been consulted. The people should have been given a chance to talk to the NSCN(K) on why it went for the abrogation. We have told the Prime Minister and the (Union) home minister about this. All these unwanted situations have taken place because of the abrogation. The talks should also come to a conclusion.
