STEERING COMMITTEE MEMBER (IM) JOINS GPRN/NSCN


Senior functionary and Steering Committee Member in the IM set-up D.T Lincoln Poumai, hailing from Shepoumaramth Region has joined the GPRN/NSCN on 25th August 2010.

According to him, the need of the hour for the Naga people is to reconcile and embrace together unconditionally. In reconciliation there should not be any ifs and buts. Basing on the political and historical rights of the Nagas, signed at the highest level by Chairman SS Khaplang, Chairman Isak Cishi Swu and Brig. (Retd) S Singnya, he is of the opinion that Nagas are heading towards full reconciliation and sooner than later will achieve it. His decision to join GPRN/NSCN is for the sake of the Nagas because it is the common ground. He also appreciated the ‘Monyakshu Conclave’ as it was a historic moment and showed the world that Nagas can come to an understanding, shedding away factional mindset.

He urged Naga patriots everywhere to commit themselves to total reconciliation without any condition. There should not be double meanings in a single word ‘Reconciliation’ Nagas are one and this is the time to unite.

MIP, GPRN/NSCN.

GPRN/NSCN Voices Concern Over Pro-Talk ULFA Comment

While it is understandable that the Pro-talk ULFA revolutionaries may have been provoked in the Assam Arunachal corridor by few IM cadres who has little or no knowledge of the communal harmony that exist among different ethnic groups in the area for centuries, it is also a moment for all organizations, armed and unarmed, to exercise wisdom and restraint because a region cannot be consigned to flames because of few anti-social elements taking the name of the Nagas.

Mr. Jiten Dutta, the Secretary of the pro-talk ULFA, who aired his views in the media outlet, is a seasoned revolutionary who is also well versed with the Naga political issue. He understands perfectly that the violent action of the IM group does not have any sanction of the Naga people. It would be an error of judgment if ULFA were to pour its anger on the innocent Nagas in Arunachal or Assam. If Eastern Nagaland was the base of ULFA some years ago, surely he understands the value of friendship and solidarity that GPRN/NSCN under the Leadership of Chairman S.S Khaplang and General Secretary N Kitovi Zhimomi still offers. Many of Mr. Jiten’s comrades may still be friends with the Nagas beyond the international border. The Nagas and Assamese living in the border areas should not be victimized because of the actions and words of few armed anti-social elements roaming along the boundary. These are gangsters and they do not represent the Nagas.

GPRN/NSCN feels that Mr. Jiten’s comment that his men would not spare the Nagas living in Assam is unfortunate and does not meet the ethics of revolutionaries. Communal violence is counter productive and all parties should avoid it. A spurt of the moment comment should not destabilize good neighborly relationship between ULFA and GPRN/NSCN within and beyond the boundary. It is better to identify who the culprit is before condemning the whole family.

The threat of attack by IM in the event of not lifting of economic blockade within 24 hours is something which Assam Govt. and Arunachal Pradesh Govt. should intervene and protect the citizens against dacoits using and tarnishing the image of the Naga people. Assames, Nagas and Arunachalis should live in harmony

MIP,
GPRN/NSCN
