Dimapur, January 22, 2012:
NSCN (Khole-Kitovi), in its cabinet meeting, announced that it will not interfere in the forthcoming assembly elections in Manipur.
A release issued by the outfit said the faction will not be lured into supporting any political party within the Constitution because "our commitment is to the Naga people and our right is outside the parameters of Constitution." Participating in elections will not bring a political solution for the Nagas, it said.
"Naga people have been struggling for their right to self determination and it will be a betrayal if the NSCN fights for a political party," it added.
The group further said its officials, civil and military are not authorized to support or represent the outfit for or against any political party/candidate in the forthcoming Manipur elections.
It cautioned regional authorities and the Naga army in southern Nagaland against tarnishing the good image of the government.
