Khaplang out of peace talks
The Telegraph | H. Chishi | Imphal 29:
The Khaplang group of the NSCN today decided to pull out of the Naga reconciliation process after its rivals decided not to harbour any rebel group of the region averse to the Naga political cause.
Admitting that the Khaplang group has ties with Ulfa, the Manipur-based UNLF, PLA and Prepak, Kughalu Mulatonu, envoy to the collective leadership of NSCN (K), said from Longwa in Mon district of Nagaland that the Isak-Muivah group, which had harboured many northeastern insurgent groups, today wanted to crush groups opposed to oppression by the Centre to resolve an issue which was “below sovereignty”.
Mulatonu also criticised the Forum for Naga Reconciliation (FNR), which had initiated the peace process, for creating the Khole-Kitovi faction out of NSCN (K) in the name of Naga reconciliation although Khaplang, Isak Chisi Swu and Thuingaleng Muivah were the first persons to sign the “covenant of reconciliation”.
“They will never carry out joint operations against us,” he said, adding that the Centre would try to work out some formula with NSCN (K) to solve the Naga political issue.
However, sources at the Delhi-based Burma Centre, who are against the ruling junta in Myanmar, said the Centre had recently supplied sophisticated guns to the junta which usually carries out operations against the Khaplang group in winter.
