Imphal, Sep 04:
Rashtriya Suraksha Manch (RSM), a New Delhi based voluntary organisation working for the protection of sovereignty of the country, has cautioned the Government of India against giving undue advantage to NSCN (I-M) in utilising the ceasefire extension period as strength building opportunity towards achieving its demand of formation of Greater Nagaland.
In a memorandum forwarded to the President of India, the organisation observed that the Government of India should ensure the Naga rebel outfit strictly adheres to the ceasefire ground rules during the ceasefire period and stopped from massive campaign in favour of its sovereignty demand through mass contact programmes and open air public meetings.
Taking the advantage of the ceasefire, NSCN (I-M) has been trying to spread its tentacles and penetrate into unreached regions by using masked organisations and the recent movement for affiliation of schools in the four hill districts of Manipur with Nagaland Board is a game plan of NSCN (I-M) advanced through Naga students in Manipur, the memorandum said.
The memorandum further said that of late NSCN (I-M) has cleverly coined the word 'Unique history of Nagas' as a trick intended to make the innocent Nagas and the people of the country believe that Nagas were not an integral part of Indian society.
'NSCN (I-M) must be told emphatically that Naga society is an integral part of the larger Indian society and no plan to segregate Nagas from Indian society will be allowed', the memorandum urged .
Stating that the demand of Greater Nagaland by NSCN (I-M) to cover hill districts of Manipur, one-fifth of Assam and four districts of Arunachal Pradesh which would be ten times bigger than the existing Nagaland is an impossible proposition, the memorandum pointed the neighbouring States are strongly opposed to the very idea of grouping incongruous Naga inhabited areas.
The memorandum also urged the Government of India to caution NSCN (I-M) from associating with anti-India organisations or foreign countries which are hostile to India and stop issuing Restricted Area Permits (RAP) to American, British, German and other foreign Nationals with doubtful integrity to enter Nagaland.
