ANNULMENT AHZA
The National Socialist Council of Nagalim’s commitment to peace process is total and she is seriously engaged in exploring every possible avenue in finding an honourable political solution acceptable to both the parties. For the achievement of this objective, faith in the power of collective wisdom and mass participation becomes essential. NSCN therefore, advocates the policy of reconciliation and unity among the Nagas. In this spirit and in response to the genuine wishes of the Sumi civil societies, a team of GPRN Officials led by Mr. Shikato Chishi Swu, Dy. Kilonser, was deputed by my office to meet some leaders from Khaplang’s camp as desired also by them, to foster better understanding amongst us.
Our team went there unarmed demonstrating our faith and sincerity; but to the utter surprise of the entire team, Mr. Nikhuyi and his men came in full combat gear and after creating a commotion by their random firing, intimidated our officials into signing a ceasefire agreement, clearly conveying the idea that they would all be eliminated should they refuse to sign it. Apparently Mr. Nikhuyi had also ordered his men to attack our cadres stationed at Khukiye Lukhai village and ambushes were laid at Chisholimi, Mudutsugho and surrounding villages targeting the returning GPRN officials.
Such brazen attitude and treacherous action is not only an insult to the Sumi civil societies through whose positive efforts these initiatives were made, but it is more of a self-forfeiture of our trust and therefore we hold ourselves not bound by any such farcical imposition. We neither believe in such forced union nor in the marriage that can be sustained through deception. We no longer trust such people.
NSCN is very critical of the fact that how unscrupulously the Government of India is using these elements to counterbalance it. GOI has succeeded only in vitiating the otherwise conducive atmosphere. In the final analysis, this intrigue would only be self-defeating though they have not ceased terming the self-created situation as a case of “factional clashes”.
