Press Release
Amsterdam, february 23 2003
The Naga International Support Center praises the leaders of the Congress Party who, being confronted by their chiefs of staff, initiated the peaceprocess. They were compelled to seek a lasting solution for the Indo-Naga conflict,.as their generals revealed that a military solution was not possible. Only by practically annihilating the Naga Peoples could the conflict be solved militarily.
During their visit to Delhi for the peace process Nscn leaders Mr. Swu and Mr. Muivah Mrs. Gandhi spoke in favour of the peace process and referred to the Congress party which in 1995 intiated the peace process between the Government of India and the National Socialist Council of Nagaland
Appearing in Nagaland Sonia Gandhi strongly spoke for the reelection of chief minister Jamir. She consequently backed rampant corruption. More importantly she backed the 16th point agreement, an agreement against the will of then people, that created Nagaland State.
S.C. Jamir, a staunch initiator and still supporter of the of the 16th point agreement that created Nagaland State, was heavily critised by the then Naga National Council for selling out the rights of the Nagas.
Mrs. Sonia Ghandi reportedly also said that for the past decade the Congress party, headed by Chief Minister S.C. Jamir party has shown to be a stable State Government.
So, in view of these contradictory approaches Nisc wonders what the Congress Party is after? Is Mrs. Ghandi backing S.C.Jamir to maintain the idea of an Nagaland State that is against the idea the Nagas have of thier future? And that is fed and financed by the Indian Government causing rampant corruption? Or is it that Mrs. Gandhi stands by her former leaders of the Congress Party and will adhere to and support the iniated peace process?
Nisc calls on Mrs. Gandhi to speak clearly
