Dimapur, July 11: After heaving series of accusation on the Govt of India by the NSCN-IM for the slow pace of the "Naga peace talks", the Isak-Muivah faction of the NSCN on Friday expressed its anger at the Nagaland Govt too for the same reason.

The outfit stated that the Govt of India was blamed by NSCN-IM for being insincere while dealing with the Indo-Naga political issue saying that serious commitment was found lacking on the part of India, and that caused the delay in bringing the peace talks to a meaningful level.

"Ironically, the Nagaland administration under the direction of Nagaland State Govt is adopting the same attitude by applying different yard-stick while going headstrong with the notorious flush out operation in Dimapur," accused the NSCN-IM saying the outfit's indignation cannot be faulted.

"And when things started going too far the Naga Army is forced into action but conscientiously," cautions the NSCN-IM.

The outfit further stated that the attack by 'Naga Army' against the hide out of the 'reactionary forces' located at Diphupar is a direct out come of the double standard policy of the Dimapur administration.

"The DC's pretentious seriousness just faded after his operation flush out evicted the NSCN members but allowing reactionary forces of Azheto-Mulatuno-Kitovi group to be stationed there at Diphupar area and other places from where all the criminals activities like abduction and extortion are conducted.

It was a long wait but the wait cannot be extended for too long lest the public nuisance created by this group takes for a more dangerous turn," fumed the NSCN-IM.

It then said that there is no running away on the action taken by the NSCN-IM against the 'Azheto-Mulatuno-Kitovi group' "why the state police forces turn a blind eye to the presence of their 'Highway Command' in the house of Maj.

Atoshe at L khel, Diphupar?" asked the outfit.

The NSCN-IM has acted with a very clear conscience when the Dimapur administration failed to apply the same yard-sticks, said the statement while adding, "When dealing with NSCN members the police acted with promptness and faithfulness.

But in the matters of Azheto-Mulatuno-Kitovi elements, the police intelligence went out of action or simply directed to go slow by the top level officials.

But NSCN cannot afford to go slow, and will never go slow to defend people's interest," further cautions the outfit.

"The irony of the situation is that everybody talks about ceasefire ground rules implementation.

But nobody ask who will implement it and how.

Not by Govt of India agency alone can ceasefire ground rules be implemented if NSCN is not taken account.

Otherwise, the ground rules remains in name only.

Let the Govt of India treat the Ceasefire rules with a heart of sincerity to make it more meaningful.

The state as well as Central Govt should take serious note of the duplicity in the matter of ceasefire rules," directed the NSCN-IM statement.
