Dimapur, June 10 2011:
After three days of his expulsion from the NSCN-K, SS Khaplang today counter-expelled NSCN-K general secretary Kitovi Zhimomi and senior leader of the outfit Azheto Chophy and all the cadres of the "unification group" from the NSCN-K.A press communique received by Newmai News Network tonight issued by SS Khaplang said, "I, the Chairman of the NSCN, regrets to inform all the Naga national workers and the Naga people that, N Kitovi Zhimomi, General Secretary of the party is expelled from the NSCN today the 10th day of June, 2011.The party has for too long patiently overlooked the mistakes he has committed in the past" .
In a separate press note, SS Khaplang said that he has expelled Azheto Chophy and all the "unification group" cadres from the outfit.
Today's development came three days after SS Khaplang was "impeached" and then expelled him from the outfit.
"Today, his (Kitovi Zhimomi) expulsion from the party has become a necessity to save the party from further deterioration and confusion.
It is sad that, today at this decisive juncture for the Nagas, Zhimomi, as a national leader has failed to stand by the ethics of a revolutionary.
He had failed to distinguish the reactionary from the revolutionary.
His support for the Unification group and celebrating unification anniversary is also not admirable.
NSCN (NSCN-K) does not recognize any unification group or their unification anniversary.
Some kilonsers and members were inducted into the GPRN as per their efficiency and capacity including several army officers in the (PAN) People's Army of Nagaland who had the vision to see a liberated Naga land.
Therefore, the question of celebrating unification anniversary does not arise" .
SS Khaplang said the NSCN-K's pull- out from the reconciliation process, was not because it was against it but, because of the intentional violation of the resolved resolution by the other participating group.
"Unfortunately, Zhimomi continued his meeting with those groups even when many national workers were bleeding in the hands of the reactionaries," he added.
SS Khaplang said there was always a dagger in the smile of the people who sent their cadres to various parts of Naga inhabited areas to kill the national workers while talking of reconciliation on the other hand.
Khaplang said.
To this day the NSCN-K cadres are fighting the reactionary forces in eastern Nagaland as well as in Tirap and Changlang district of Arunachal Pradesh and Southern Nagaland 'but, Zhimomi has been found watching leisurely and not working in the interest' of the NSCN-K."Thus, as per party discipline Zhimomi is found guilty under article 8 and 9 of section 'A', which states, "lack of heed shall be taken as willful defiance and acts of willful defiance and incompatible traits shall deprive the member concerned of his membership." He has been also found guilty of "conducting of affairs independently" which is also against the party discipline under article 4 of section 'C'.
Therefore, the NSCN has expelled Zhimomi from the membership of the party and all appointments, authorization, power and privileges enjoyed by him stands cancelled with effect from today the 10th of June 2011," SS Khaplang stated.
