On July 21, 2006 through my article 'NNC does not belong to Nagalim' I asked Eno Kedistsu Tsuzu Chakhe-sang to list down about a hundred names of Naga national workers who were killed in 1978 when military coup was carried out as alleged on 20th July, 2006.

But he failed to list down the names, instead he shifted the date of killing from August 1978 to September 1980, on which day more than 30 of the NSCN men were killed in the fighting when NSCN headquater Langnuk camp was captured by the Fgn Army. His article appeared in Nagaland Post on July 29, 2006 under the caption 'NSCN-IM ridicules NNC statement' in response to my question was irrational and exposed to the Naga people that he is telling lies.

It is good that he once again stated a new formation of Govt which Muivah and Isak group always admitted the truth that they made NNC president AZ Phizo as the president of the Federal Govt of Nagaland (FGN) as well, when they had formed centralized Govt on the pattern of socialism. This was done on August 16, 1976 at Supao village in the absence of senior leaders.

When the senior leaders like Eno T Venuh and Ngathingkhui Ahum came to headquaters at Tson-khao village, they pointed out as follow:

i) A new formation of Government in 1976 was a gross violation of Nagal-and Yehzabo (Constitution).
ii) Th Muivah and Isak Swu have no authority to summon the national assembly (Tatar Hoho), because they were at that time NNC general secretary and Chaplee-Kilonser (Finance Minister) of the FGN.
iii) Since the beginning NNC and FGN are two entity heads, therefore these two offices should not be put on a single head.
iv) The office of the FGN President should not be in the foreign land.
v) We should not adopt socialism, if we adopt it, another division among the Nagas will take place and the blood of Nagas will flow like a river. Because the Nagas will not accept socialism as the living of the Nagas is democracy from time immemorial and now 95% are Christians.

But Muivah rejected all the points and adopted a resolution to overthrow the leadership of AZ Phizo on 2nd August 1978. Which triggered to declare Martial law on 30th August 1978 by the Naga Army for they opposed dictatorial rule of Muivah.

So Muivah and Isak were detained under house arrest but were released unhurt in May 1979 by Eno Khaplang, (the then he was made as FGN President). After they were released, they started to kill NNC/FGN leaders in 1979. Since then the killing started among the Nagas.

In 1977, I was in China along with 300 Naga army under the leadership of Th Muivah, general secretary, NNC. In China he warned us, 'Phizo pitch te khara kura kan guli ekta ekta khabo' (who stand behind Phizo, one bull each will be given to them).

Accordingly Muivah started to kill the supporters of the NNC and Phizo in 1979. At first he killed Lt Col Yamtse-thong Khiamniungan on 15th July, 1979 at Tsonk-hao village, and then mass massacres were carried out in the last part of 1979, where all NNC/FGN leaders in Eastern part of Nagaland were killed.

After eliminating NNC/FGN leaders, Muivah and Isak formed the NSCN on 31st January, 1980. Because Muivah might have had in his mind that, if he upholds the NNC office and works for the nation, even he would shake the world for the right cause of the Nagas, but the credit will go to Phizo. So, Th Muivah defected from the NNC on January 31, 1980 and formed NSCN for the interest of his own credit. Hence he is fighting against the Nagas to hijack the credit.

After they had formed a new organisation, Muivah and Isak launched a 'razed down operation' against Khiamniungam people. They first attacked Kingphu village on 15th February 1980 and killed Eno Pingland and Eno Muno. As they sent more NSCN armed men to Khaimniungan region and carried out heavy operation, the fighting took place for the first time between NSCN men and the FGN army in March 1980 on the way between Chukie and Asheiking village.

In this razed down operation, they burned down ten villages including grenaries and churches. All domestic animals were consumed by them, and hundreds of villagers were made to die of starvation. The FGN army were also compelled to retreat to Chuklangan village, western side of Saramati Range.

They were around 70 or 60 cadres, yet they never discouraged, but planned to capture the NSCN's headquaters at Langnuk. The plan was successfully carried out on 27th September, 1980 as mentioned above.

It is very clear that, Th Muivah upheld the office of the NNC general secretary upto 31st January, 1980. On 29th January, 1980 Muivah and Isak signed a merger of the Eastern Naga National Council (ENNC) with the NNC with Eno Khaplang and Brig Thungbo where they gave their initial as general secretary and vice president of the NNC. But surprisingly on the next day they announced that NNC has failed.

In this way they have mislead some young Nagas who have poor knowledge and naive in the Naga national politics. Eno Keditsu is one of them. How pitiful you are, for you are unfortunately mislead by others. It is the need of hour to ask the following questions for your own interest and in the interest of Naga people.

i) If the NNC and FGN were finished in 1975 by signing the Shillong Accord as you said why then Muivah made AZ Phizo as president of both the NNC and FGN on August 16, 1976? Why Muivah upheld the NNC General Secretary office upto 31st January 1980?

ii) If the NNC is a dead organisation as you said; why are you fighting against the NNC since 1980? For what purpose or reason? Why Th Muivah praised the NNC on 20th January, 2005 at Hebrun camp saying 'It is the NNC that gave us leeway, not me Isak. If it was the NNC, it was Phizo. And who can deny that. The NNC leaders laid the foundation'.

iii) If you said that the NSCN men were killed on 27th Sept 1980 was the first ever killing among the Nagas, then who had killed Brig Ngamlao Konyak in December 1975 in Kachinland? Who killed NNC/FGN leaders in 1979? Who burned down Khiamniungan village and tortured Khiamniungam people in March and April in 1980?

iv) The NNC and FGN had stated time and again that the Shillong Accord was rejected by the FGN in the national assembly held at Dihome Oking in December, 1975, and made clear the Naga national stand. So also Muivah group always stated that the Nagas have rejected the Shillong Accord. Why then you mean by accor-dist? Who claimed that they have accepted Shill-ong Accord? Who had crossed over to constitutional floor of India? You should disclose their names and show the document?

v) If you said, the Shillong Accord was the main factor for the division and killing among the Nagas, why did the NSCN-IM was involved in the India State elections? Why did its leaders submit 30 point competencies proposal to demand an autonomous state/federal relationship with India and why the talk is going on for the integration under Indian union and not for sovereignty?

vi) You may think that you are giving much contributions to the nation, even in the international level. But indeed you are destroying what the NNC had founded. In home you are giving great destruction to the Nagas and in abroad you said the Nagas/NNC had surrendered or accepted the Indian Constitution, thus you are confusing the world on the Naga National stand.

Also your leaders are propagating to the world that the Nagas are demanding self-determination from India, through/which you made the Nagas as Indian subject or colonised by India. Is it not you who is distorting Naga national history?

Once you have boasted you are going to internationalise the Indo-Naga case. But then why did your leaders came back to India and accepted Indian Passports/Indian citizenship

vii) You have violated Naga National Law (Lakhuti Resolution) and moreover now you had already given your stand for sovereignty. Again you have peace with the Indian Army and fighting against the Nagas. Even then you accused the Nagas as traitors. What you mean by traitor?

If you think you are on the right path the above mentioned question will not be hard to answer for the interest of our people.
