Dimapur, August 13, 2012:
The NSCN group headed by SS Khaplang is dismayed at the "immature and one sided decision" of the Joint Legislators Forum (JLF) of the Nagaland Legislative Assembly (NLA) leaving out the other Naga political groups and going by the NSCN (IM) solution and not Naga solution.
"It is expected of the highly respected elected people's representatives (MLAs) to go by the people's mandate and not by a factional solution which is detrimental and will further create a rift between the different Naga political groups instead of bringing the much coveted solution as they claimed," the NSCN-K said today.
The NSCN-K further said the outfit would like to ask the much adored leaders as to how much they have consulted other factions and its leaders before taking such a step which involves the world's longest running conflict.
The legislators are also expected not to favour any faction but to take into confidence all the parties involved as all the Naga political groups (factions) are fighting for the same goal of Naga sovereignty which is equally dear to every Naga, the NSCN group led by SS Khaplang added.
It further stated, on its part, the NSCN K under no circumstances will be a part of any solution coming out of the 60 Legislators so-called paving a way for solution for any sort of so-called interim arrangement sought by the legislators from New Delhi recently as reported in the media.
Moreover, the NSCN under the leadership of S S.Khaplang will never accept anything less than sovereignty as stated by its chairman recently and will reject any solution other than sovereignty solution, the outfit affirmed.
"Further, Eastern Naga National Workers Association (ENNWA) questions the wisdom of the 20 elected members from the Eastern Nagaland in taking part in the wrong and biased decision basing on just one faction interests leaving aside the views and opinions of NSCN K who have been fighting for Naga sovereignty the last nearly 70 years resulting into lost of many precious lives.
"The ENNWA would also like to ask if anyone from among the 20 elected leaders from Eastern Nagaland knows the contends of the charter of demands submitted by the NSCN (IM) to the government of India and if so explain the same to the NSCN in general and ENNWA in particular within 15 days time and if not justify their position basing on what ground and consultation they have given their assent to the lopsided decision which is very likely to bring another big plunder (another Shillong accord) likely to result into lost of many more precious lives as if the lives that have been lost in the past were not enough? The 20 eastern MLAs should explain to the ENNWA as stated above within 15 days the so-called charter of demands failure to do the same; they will be treated as anti-Naga and anti-NSCN," the NSCN-K stated.
