Dimapur, April 20 2012:
The NSCN-IM on Friday said shall still stand committed for peaceful approach to resolve the current pandemonium.
The Naga outfit said that much water has flown down the Dhansiri river (a river in Dimapur) when the Indo-Naga ceasefire was signed in 1997 and in numerous occasions the Assam Rifles have taken extreme pleasure in rubbing the shoulder of NSCN-IM on the wrong side.
"But NSCN acted in the manner to show its commitment to go for a negotiated political settlement rather than military solution that has been proved meaningless and futile for the past many years.
Cease ground rule violations comes in heaps in the hands of the Assam Rifles.
But NSCN stood its ground not to hit back despite provocation that really put to test its nerve of endurance.
This time when the 12th Assam Rifles came so near the designated Hebron Camp it was never done by mistake but deliberately to test the reaction capacity of NSCN.This is politically not correct for the AR troops as it goes against the very spirit of Ceasefire that is running more than 15 years," the ministry of information and publicity of the Naga outfit said today.
The NSCN-IM them said the fact that Cease Fire Monitoring Group (CFMG) Chairman Maj.Gen (Retd.) N.George admiited the mistake of AR troops sound ok.
But when the troops started to inch closer to the Hebron Camp in a more aggressive manner it carries another meaning that reflects breach of trust, it added.
The outfit then said during the past period of ceasefire AR have taken possession of huge number of NSCN-IM weapons that had nothing to do with ceasefire violation and this issue continues to be placed during the ceasefire ground rule meetings.
But NSCN-IM's demand for return of weapons was never accepted in good spirit.
Unacceptable reason was given on whereabouts of the weapons, it alleged.
"For peace to prevail the aggressor must take the initiative to build up confidence and faith in the eyes of the NSCN and public.
So far AR is yet to do any such thing in the area leading to Hebron Camp.
NSCN in the face of direct attack on ceasefire ground rules shall still stand committed for peaceful approach in keeping with the hard earned ceasefire," the Naga outfit affirms.
