What are you doing Khaplang Group?
Considering the reports on the Khaplang Group stating it is ‘quitting on both the Tangkhul tribe and civil organizations like NSF, NPMHR and others, the Naga International Support Center vehemently denounces this discriminatory behavior.
Stating in one report, see below, that the Tangkhul are a criminal tribe and declaring all of them to vacate Nagaland is a dictatorial act, an act of racism too. That the Khaplang Group is not quite well versed NISC has observed before but to even consider this sentence “After weighing the pros and cons of the Tangkhul Criminalism.” Is more than remarkable. How is it possible to consider there are pro’s in Criminalism?
Perhaps more importantly than to catch the Group on a mistake in thinking or writing is how the K leaders can come up with the conclusion of singling out an entire tribe as being criminal in nature? Even when NISC considers this to be true then why only come forward with this nonsensical judgment when all were once respected leaders and members of both the NNC and NSCN and after the bloody break up from the NSCN, Khaplang himself did not come up with this unsubstantiated accusation?
To haughtily and unsubstantially smear a particular tribe and the civil organizations who stand for the rights of the Nagas as whole is much more than an act of vindictiveness or of jealousy, it is an act of overindulgent arrogance based on nothing more than the fear of loosing support. This in spite of the well known support the K Group receives from the Indian Government. If you dare Khaplang Group then reveal what is your real vision, policy and agenda.
Is it to settle old scores brutally over the backs of all Nagas?
Is it to get support for just Nagaland State to get some kind of autonomy?
Is it because if in the event you are not successful your funds will be cut off?
What are you doing Khaplang Group? Or is it you do not know it yourself and you have created an army of lunatics?
NISC calls on the Khaplang Group to not only revoke its ludicrous quit notice, but to rejoin the Naga family and to come and reconcile on the basis of open discussions to resolve old disputes. I am sure Nagas are well aware that communication creates chances to straighten out differences can.

NSCN (K) issues ‘Quit Notice’
DIMAPUR, AUGUST 16 (MExN): In what was termed by the NSCN (K) as “a significant move to push forward for the renewal of unity and restoration of permanent peace among the Nagas of Nagaland”, the Sumi region, Chakhesang region, Konyak region, Angami region, Lotha region, Sangtam region, Ao region and Tisary region covering districts of Zunheboto, Phek, Mon, Kohima, Wokha, Kiphire, Mokokchung have issued “Quit Notice to the Tangkhul tribe of Manipur” from August 17, 2006.
The “Quit Notice” statement was issued by Vihoto Aye, Regional Chairman, Sumi Region; Akhro Chakhesang, CIO, Chakhesang Region; Col (Retd) Angba Konyak, Regional Secretary, Konyak Region; K.K Angami, Regional Chairman, Angami Region; C. Lotha, Caretaker, Lotha Region, Yangsepa Sangtam, A/Regional Chairman, Sangtam Region; I. Wati, Regional Chairman, Ao region and Maj Kurichu, A/Chairman, Tisary Region.
The NSCN (K) alleged that Nagas “have for a long time borne the brunt and cruelty of the Tangkhuls responsible for masterminding terrorisms against the NSCN and innocent Nagas”. “After weighing the pros and cons of the Tangkhul Criminalism, the above mentioned regions of the Nationalist Socialist Council of Nagaland have agreed to implement overall strict measures to restrict any Tangkhul (IM or Indian Government employees) existence in Nagaland to ensure pro bono publico”, it was stated.
The NSCN (K) in its quit notice further informed that previously, the Zeliangrong, Konyak and Sangtam Region had also issued “Drive out Notice” against the Tangkhuls. “The entire Naga society is aware of the anti-Naga and anti-nationalistic egos and pride of this tribe and as quid pro quo, the Quit Notice is made effective”, it was stated.
The NSCN (K) pointed out that the Naga army in the above mentioned regions has been urged to enforce all operative codes to root out the “terrorists from the Naga soil in view to provide a committed terrorism-free Nagaland to the future generations”, the quit notice stated.

This is the policy of the GOI to defeat the Nagas since they cannot defeat them by share arm forces and on the negotiating table. They are resorting to such cheap trick by using NSCN-K as a front to flare up tribalism among the Nagas. The recent Quit notice served to tangkhul is one example.
Divide and Rule was the policy adopted by the British towards India in those days, and now GOI is using the same strategy to suppresse and oppress the nagas.
we can also ask the sensibality of the NSCN-K policy of Quit notice to Tangkhul Tribe alone and banning of all the social organisations, like Naga HOHO, NSF;NMA; and International organisations.
