Pillai sees Khaplang leaning towards 'new' Myanmar
The Telegraph | Dipankar Roy | Guwahati, Feb 15
Former Union home secretary G.K. Pillai told The Telegraph here that the NSCN (K), led by the Myanmar-based S.S. Khaplang, was likely to look “eastward” (to Naypyidaw, the Myanmarese capital) rather than to west (Delhi) given the changing socio-political scenario in the neighbouring country.
“After all, they belong there although they have a lot in common with the Nagas of Nagaland or elsewhere,” he said.
“Once they get to have a greater say in their own affairs, there is no reason why they should not feel comfortable there. Besides, redrawing international boundaries is next to impossible,” Pillai, who had been in charge of the Northeast during one of his earlier stints in the home ministry, pointed out.
