Dimapur, February 27, 2010:
Reacting to the NSCN-K press statement yesterday, the NSCN-IM today said that the latter outfit is never discoraged or buffed up by such statements.
The NSCN-K had said yesterday that the NSCN-IM and Government of India talk is just a meeting but never a political dialogue.
The NSCN-K also said that NSCN-IM leader Th.Muivah can only take up social issues and problems of Ukhrul district but not a Naga issue.
Reacting to that NSCN-K statement, the NSCN-IM said today that it takes 'serious note of the unwarranted and misleading press statement of the Kehoi campers (NSCN-K) carried in the local dailies'.
The outfit said that the NSCN-IM is never discouraged or buffed up by any writing or speeches made by some disgruntled people in the name of Naga freedom fighters and at the behest of their pay masters, the adversaries of the Naga people.
"Such write ups never harm anybody or organizations of Nagalim.
This only exhibit and magnifies their silliness and ignorance.
Their writings clearly explain who they are and what their motives are.
The Naga people readily understand whether they are working for the good of the Nagas or for the adversary of the Nagas.
In spite of their misleading and confused write-ups the Naga people undoubtedly knows who is who and who hold the issue, and that, the NSCN under the Leadership of Isak Chisi Swu, Th Muivah and Khodao Yanthan is not a confused political organization," the NSCN-IM said.
It also said that the NSCN-IM once again reminds the NSCN-K of the fact that the political dialogue between the Government of India and the NSCN-IM representing the entire Nagas is going on from 1997 till today as the two separate entities.
The NSCN-IM had already conducted four � five Naga consultation meetings in respect of the ongoing peace talks and in Jan.2005 the consultation meeting was held at camp Hebron, in which more than 8000 (eight thousand) people representing different sections of Naga people including Naga Hoho, apex tribal Hohos and frontal Naga public forums attended, in this meeting the Naga people gave unequivocal mandate to NSCN leadership to carry on the political dialogue with the GoI more actively to clinch an honorable settlement for all the Nagas and the Nagalim at the earliest.
With the strength of the aforesaid mandate the NSCN leadership has been negotiating with the GoI.
"Regarding the ongoing reconciliation and unity process, it has been made amply clear that the same is a domestic problem and it is an internal issue of the Nagas.
Reconciliation and unity process under no circumstances can condition the political dialogue between the GOI and the Nagas lead by NSCN," the NSCN-IM said.
"In their write-ups the Kehoi campers (NSCN-K) mentioned the name of Th.Muivah several times which clearly shows their immature political mindset with vested interest, biased and hatred towards a particular leader and tribe.
They should keep in mind that Th.Muivah is not talking with India for him or for his tribe.
But he has been shouldering the rare noble responsibility on behalf of all the Nagas.
The GoI through its notorious agencies and some Naga idiots who have no future political vision can never undo the working of the NSCN at any cost.
The NSCN is firm and determined for the righteous and sacred cause of all the Nagas," the NSCN-IM statement said.
