Kohima, Jul 31:
The NSCN (K) said the final political solution to the Indo-Naga political issue would only come about when the organization formally "holds political dialogues with the Government of India." Talking to NEPS over phone from their mobile headquarters, NSCN (K) Kilonser Kughalu Mulatonu ridiculed the ongoing political parleys between
the Government of India and the NSCN (IM) leaderships, saying "It has become rituals for both the Government of India and the NSCN (IM) that
after every talk, they usually come out with the words---talks are cordial, positive, fruitful, etc." He stated the NSCN (IM) leaderships would one day come back to the NSCN
(K) for forgiveness.
He asserted that nothing would emerge for their ongoing talks without the NSCN (K).
Mulatonu also reiterated that the Government of India should
discontinue its ongoing political parleys with the leaderships of the NSCN (IM) because of their (NSCN-IM) "terrorist backgrounds." It may be mentioned that the NSCN (IM) had already challenged NSCN (K) leader Kughalu Mulatonu to prove his repeated charges that the former had any link with Al Quida.
Stating that there had been enough evidence that the "NSCN (IM) is a terrorist organization," the NSCN (K) leader said, "The NSCN (IM) may deny all my charges and write a good novel on me but that will not help
them escape from their terrorist activities." Responding to the NSCN (IM) statement that the NSCN (K) leaders Kitovi and late Dally Mungro went to Amsterdam on Indian passports, Mulatonu said their leaders went to Amsterdam on Indian passports with the mandate of three million Nagas to find solution to the protracted Indo-Naga
political issue.
"But under whose mandate, Isak and Muivah of the NSCN (IM) have been traveling on Indian passports," he asked.
