Imphal, December 09 2013:
Reacting to the condemnation of Naga Hoho over the bomb blast at Tangkhul Naga Long (TNL) office at Ukhrul on November 15, Manipur Naga People's Front (MNPF) has questioned why and how Naga Hoho considers NSCN-IM as a rightful organization in committing every crime, even to the extent of loss of many innocent lives.
In a statement signed by its Assistant Publicity Secretary Thomas Numai, MNPF further questioned whether the Naga Hoho has ever condemned those crimes committed by NSCN-IM ? .
Did Naga Hoho acknowledged why and how Jonathan Kashung was assassinated after he was qualified in the scrutiny of the Tangkhul Naga Long (TNL) presidential election? .
"Jonathan Kashung was eliminated by NSCN-IM in order to appoint Artex as their puppet by violating TNL constitution.
NSCN-IM assert itself as upholding rule of law, at the same time they are dictating Naga people especially Tangkhul people in every way of life for more than 25 years by suppressing sacred voice of the Tangkhul people.
TNL could not exercise its mandate according to its constitution and as per the aspirations of the Tangkhul populace, Thomas asserted.
He maintained that the attack at the Tangkhul Naga Long (TNL) office at Ukhrul represents the long suppressed voice of the Tangkhul people.
"We hope it will bring about a change in the Tangkhul society, and also in the Naga community as well.
We would like to ask TNL and Naga Hoho to work independently without embracing influence from any political forces, particularly NSCN-IM.
Only then, TNL and Naga Hoho can earn mass support.
We highly esteemed the services carried out by TNL and the Naga Hoho.
At the same time, we will monitor each and every step taken by the above-mentioned civil organisations.
MNPF could no longer tolerate divisive and barbaric acts of IM.
We will represent and stand for the suppressed voice of the Nagas.
The unwanted lesson given to the TNL at Ukhrul was a by-product of NSCN-IM's demonic seeds and we appeal to all to refrain from destroying our society in the name of ''Serving our people".
We would like to see the civil society organisations work as per their constitution for the betterment and advancement of our society.
Every right-thinking citizen should condemn any interference in this practice and let nobody interpret the bold and timely act of MNPF in a narcissistic way to suit his or her vested interests," Thomas said, while reiterating appeal to all civil society organisations to look at the matter from the root.
"Assessing only the incident could not bring about a change that can benefit the Nagas, in particular the Tangkhuls.
The inflaming situation amongst the Nagas is the breed of NSCN-IM.
They have committed heinous crimes in the name of "Nagaland for Christ" .
So far, NSCN-IM leadership is not ready to repent and they are still longing for bloods of their own people.
Treachery, threatening, extortion, imposing of unlawful acts, one sided judgments, suppression to the weaker section, confiscating of contract's work orders, nepotism etc have become their way of life.
Above all, they are ready to compromise the Naga national cause for their own benefits.
Lastly, we appeal Naga Hoho and other civil society organisations to work independently and free and fair," Thomas added.
