Dimapur, January 09 2014: The Naga National Council (NNC) said the NSCN-IM is involving in Indian elections but still talking about sovereignty.

The Naga National Council (NNC) said today that the outfit has not abandoned the original stand of the Nagas that Nagaland belongs to the Nagas.

"The Nagas have gone through a terrible time in the hands of the Indian armed forces.

That history cannot be ignored by any patriotic Naga.

Nagaland is still under the Indian occupational forces empowered by the draconian law of India's Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) of 1958 .

In such a situation, Isak Swu and his mentors (refer Isak Chishi Swu's message to the Sumis - January 8, 2014) repeatedly blaming the Naga National Council (NNC) as if NNC had abandoned the original stand of the Nagas that Nagaland belong to the Nagas (Urra Uvie) in 1975, in the much talk about, the so-called the Shillong Accord", the NNC stated.

"No one seemed to notice when the 16-Point Agreement and the Revolutionary Government came about.

But by blaming NNC, the NSCN-IM even involving in Indian elections still talking about sovereignty," the NNC said.

It then stated that the recent sickening incident in Sumi area was appalling, that should never have happened.

However, in that situation the Sumi public is right to protect its region.
