NSCN/GPRN clarifies on Tirap violence morungexpress

DIMAPUR, (MExN): The National Socialist Council of Nagalim has pointed out that what happened in Tirap Arunachal Pradesh was “unfortunate” however the report “emanating from Khaplang group on the casualties suffered by NSCN” was something which was never based on factual incident. “But given the nature of Khaplang’s style of functioning where deceitfulness are shamelessly practiced to cover their misdeeds from the watchful eyes of the Nagas such falsehood of press statement is not too surprising”, stated a press note from MIP NSCN/GPRN. While stating that no doubt there was heavy fighting but “Naga Army of NSCN never faced such dead as propagated by Khaplang group”. “We appreciated the valour of our boys who stood firm against the Khaplang boys whose master knows nothing more than the language of violence”, it stated.
Stating that the “nationalism as practiced by Khaplang is nothing better than anti-Naga nationalism”, the MIP note stated that Khaplang was concerned for his own survival “at the cost of the greater Naga national interest”. “He will stoop to any level no matter how much it goes against the interest of the Nagas. He makes the Meitei militants as his bed-fellows despite the fact the Meiteis are tooth and nail opposed to Nagas’ political movement. The Meiteis militants knows not the meaning of right to self-determination when it comes to Nagas but they professed to be fighting for right to self-determination”, the MIP note alleged.
Terming such “dubious dealing of falsehood are the Meitei underground groups with their frontal civil organizations”, the MIP note stated that “Khaplang finds extra pleasure in sharing his kitchen with the very groups who are ready to raise their fire arms against the Nagas historical and political rights. “But history will judge Khaplang who values the Meiteis more than the Nagas. Deceitfulness and falsehood can never be part of any leader to lead the Nagas”, it stated.

Press Release
16th July,2011


Nation cannot be saved by a person who propagate violence and who allowed him to be used by others as a mouth piece of anti Naga underground groups, particularly the Meiteis. Unfortunately, this very person SS.Khaplang refused to be guided by the reality of the world where Nagas want lasting peace by establishing understanding and unity among the nationalist political parties and join the rest of the world with the identity that carried respect and honor. He stay put in the jungle based camp in the remote Eastern Nagalim where he commercialized giving shelter and base to all anti-Naga forces. Ultimately he courted controversy and had to face the ignominy of getting impeached by his organization who has had enough of his irrational diktat. His brand of nationalism that is obsolete, brute and incorrigible failed to stand the test of time as the ethos of Naga nationalism are morally far superior to his nationalism. Moreover the typical character in him made himself too vulnerable to the voice of sycophants who came in the name of Manipuri insurgent groups but with strong anti Naga mindset.

Today, Khaplang group is out in the same usual game of misleading the public by giving wrong picture of the New Kothing village in Tirap district when his forces attacked the Naga Army camp on 11th July. It was a surprise attack but Naga Army retaliated with lightning speed with many of the Khaplang boys wounded in the process and those killed carried away in hurry. The incident reminds us of the violent prone Khaplang group that attack and burn down Hazik and Phongshom village on 15th March in Easter Nagalim but putting the blame on NSCN. Khaplang felt no compunction in destroying the two Naga villages along with all the properties. This is Khaplang who want to solve the Naga problem through his archaic brand of nationalism and fratricidal violence.

'Khaplang values Meiteis more than Nagas': GPRN/NSCN
Morung Express | Dimapur, July 14 (MExN):

The National Socialist Council of Nagalim has pointed out that what happened in Tirap Arunachal Pradesh was “unfortunate” however the report “emanating from Khaplang group on the casualties suffered by NSCN” was something which was never based on factual incident.

Stating that the “nationalism as practiced by Khaplang is nothing better than anti-Naga nationalism”, the MIP note stated that Khaplang was concerned for his own survival “at the cost of the greater Naga national interest”. “He will stoop to any level no matter how much it goes against the interest of the Nagas. He makes the Meitei militants as his bed-fellows despite the fact the Meiteis are tooth and nail opposed to Nagas’ political movement. The Meiteis militants knows not the meaning of right to self-determination when it comes to Nagas but they professed to be fighting for right to self-determination”, the MIP note alleged.

Terming such “dubious dealing of falsehood are the Meitei underground groups with their frontal civil organizations”, the MIP note stated that “Khaplang finds extra pleasure in sharing his kitchen with the very groups who are ready to raise their fire arms against the Nagas historical and political rights. “But history will judge Khaplang who values the Meiteis more than the Nagas. Deceitfulness and falsehood can never be part of any leader to lead the Nagas”, it stated.

Peace is not an end in itself: NSCN (Khaplang) MIP NSCN/GPRN
The good numbers of Khehoi gang leaders have managed to amass considerable wealth, mostly being professional businessman, contractors, hit-men, socially and politically dis-oriented individuals. In addition to these materialistic advantages and comforts of wealth they no longer have the interests or zeal to continue the struggle, the long years of immobility created by cease-fire and the relative peaceful atmosphere for the last few years as a result of de-escalation of inter-factional violence and strife all together has instilled a false sense of security.
The timely temptation of India’s Economic packages, financial largesse, rehabilitation schemes, compensations and political dispensations for those willing to embrace Indian constitution and citizenship indeed is an offer worth betraying the cause. It remains to be seen, how fruitful would Khehoi gang’s venture of betraying NSCN/GPRN ensure peace and unity in Nagaland State, which seems to be the catch word of Khehoi gang. Be noted that peace is a condition a situation and a means required to pave way for political process to take place. Peace is not an end in itself.
Unless permanent political solution is arrived at, permanent peace can never be guaranteed and so is the Indo-Naga-Myanmar political issue, it directly determines the peace and political situation in our Land. Rather than trying to make the Nagas of Burma or for the matter SS. Khaplang and NSCN/GPRN, or the extent of cease-fire between GOI and NSCN’s a scapegoats, we would suggest an adolescent association of traitors to stop poking their nose in the political affairs of the Naga people.
They should contentedly accept whatever relief measures or clemency extended to them by GOI and silently retire from the public view or else must be prepared to face the public trial for attempting to barter away the Naga political rights and identity, century of sacrifices of lives and bloods of generations and generations all together simply to enrich their extravagant lives and ensure their perpetual dominance and manipulation of economic life-line of the Nagas.
Can the Nagas ever accept or support the retarded Nagas camping at Khehoi, claiming themselves as National workers, when none of them are even willing to take a step beyond the plains of Dimapur. More than 80% of Khehoi gangsters are big businessman each having substantial shares in commercial activities ranging from black markets, adulteration of essential food items, fuel products, construction materials, drug peddling etc to whole sale agencies/dealers, retail marketing , transport/ carriages etc etc.
While the Naga people had been opposing Indian imposed rule, it is mostly the Khehoi gangsters proclaiming themselves as National workers, who sponsors and legitimize Indian governance by indulging headlong in every towns/municipals elections, State Assembly and Parliamentary elections of India. On many occasions these gangsters are seen openly lobbying party tickets or canvassing for their own brothers, uncles, friends etc using the barrels as leverages. Acceptance of bribes from Indian paymasters and state politicians are no longer immoral or unethical. Like the IM higher-ups in Hebron, who on the pretext of preserving Itangki forest as National Park, divided up the land amongst themselves after exploiting it’s resources to the fullest.
The Khehoi gangsters are no better, almost all the gang leaders each has hundreds of acres of land grabbed from the innocent and powerless owners, not only do they own palatial bungalows but huge commercial buildings in almost every prime areas of Dimapur city and various towns and cities of Nagaland and India as well. These properties and assets were acquired only after having joined the so-claimed National work. Fleets of luxurious cars, flashy giant flat screen TV’s in an air-conditioned toilets, Priceless rugs and gold adorned sitting rooms, king’s banquet and lavish parties are the order of the day. But on Sunday, these criminals occupies the front row in the Church and even tries to corrupt the Church to do it’s biddings by lavishly donating the ill-acquired money.
Their children live-off like Arab Prince and Sultans in Indian cities and abroad with the wealth extorted from businessmen, developmental funds, Government servants, daily wage labourers and even from the common rural masses (Rs.120 from every Naga household each year) who mostly survive hand to mouth daily. Some of these Pharisees even dares to preach gospels and sermonises on humility, honesty and righteousness. While they were together with us for a brief period , it has been witnessed on several devotional Sunday services, that the most despised and ever avaricious tax collectors and embezzlers of public wealth, workers who cannot be honest even to the NSCN/GPRN and everyday engages themselves in extortions,
Cheating and even siphon-off nominal allowances spared for the needy cadres, mis-uses tithes to the Church and steals even sick allowances and maternity funds, these types of workers exhibits aversion to alcohol, tobaccos etc. takes the dais and preaches Bible. They try to even act as moral police and law enforcers.
These hordes of personalities ganged-up in Khehoi proclaiming peace, unity , reconciliation , righteousness etc and most brazenly claiming legitimacy over Naga Political affairs is indeed an extreme example of “wolves guarding the Sheep.” If ever any concerned Naga finds it doubtful or mis-leading, you are most welcome to either seek proof and evidences through media or communicate us through Email. (nscn.nagaland@gmail.com).
With best possible authentic profiles and related information on their criminal activities, approximate wealth, properties, assets, and their social and economic status prior to joining the NSCN/GPRN will be provided.
Are we Nagas too terrified, that we no longer have a single Naga amid the teeming million to courageously speak up against this evil forces constricting any positive growth and progress of our society? Do we all partake in the crime that our conscience don’t allow us to resist and oppose the disease? Above all such reign of injustice and atrocity is being perpetrated in the name of National Liberation.
If every Khehoi gang members contribute to Naga National Work at the least 10% to 20% of the net wealth, assets, properties and earnings and incomes, the struggle can continue for at least a decade without taxing a single penny from the public ex-chequer, correspondingly the economic development, modern infrastructures, transports and communications, living standard etc would definitely be improved by double the present condition.
The prevailing income disparity, BPL population, etc and many more ailments in our society would be eradicated. However as long as these elements continue to dominate the Economic nerve-centre, the plight of the Nagas would deteriorate. The existence of Khehoi Gang is now an open chapter, comprising of business community, expelled and defectors from two NSCN’s , social outcasts and mostly dis-oriented individuals trying to find convenient pretext to prolong their extortion and taxation racket, but not for long.

Ceasefire exist in Nagaland not Burma: GPRN/NSCN Morung Express
Dimapur, (MExN): The GPRN/NSCN has pointed out that the “problem confronting the Naga people in the aftermath of impeachment and expulsion of former chairman S.S Khaplang from NSCN on 7th June 2011 by the National Assembly” was the “emergence of antisocial elements threatening the Naga people, especially business establishments with violence and bloodshed”. A press note issued by the MIP stated that the “bomb explosion twice in a short span of time” was a wake up call for the Nagas to assess the real intention of these elements propagating the name of S.S Khaplang.

“GPRN/NSCN is clear that if they want to hang on to Khaplang, they should go to Burmese side and indulge in violence and extortion. To still regard Khaplang as GPRN president is comparable to few Egyptian lunatics who still call discarded Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak as the president of Egypt”, the MIP note stated. The GPRN/NSCN argued that till 2010, Hosni Mubarak signed many peace agreements, treaties and business ventures with other countries yet the former president is now a mere public while the agreements he signed are still in force implemented by new Egyptian leaders
Factional Reconciliations: Possibilities & Impossibilities Thepfulhouvi Solo
There is one and only one Nagaland but there are several Governments over the same Territory. Unfortunately all the Factions want the Territory to itself. This is because each wants the lucrative Authority of Taxation to itself only, otherwise when all of them are laying down their lives, as they loudly claim for the Sovereignty of Nagaland, there is no reason they should be at each other’s throats. The possibilities of Reconciliation in the Nagas lie finally in how the Factions adjust or accommodate their Territory among themselves.
The irony of the situation is that none of the Factions object the State Government from collecting Taxes from every person in the State and it appears, beyond issuing desultory statements in the News Papers once in a blue moon against illegal tax collections, the State also does not object to any Faction collecting Taxes by hook or by crook from the hapless Citizens
The reason for this Article is because many people seem to know Angels can become Satan but the Devil can never become an Angel even if the Gospel is taught in a correct manner. If the Writer understands the Nagas correctly, many seem to consider ‘Shillong Accord and its connected matters proceeded out of the NNC and are, unless removed, a stumbling block in the pursuit of factional Reconciliation.

The Writer holds the view a little different
His view is:
i. it is a fact the NNC sent its Representatives to Shillong for an Accord,
ii. NNC knew a Shillong Accord but the GoI did not accept the NNC Representatives: Morally, legally and technically it was not NNC that signed the Accord. There was also no need for the NNC to abrogate what it did not.
The NNC have Peace Camps at Chedema, in other Places, also Transit Camp at Tanquist Compound Kohima, out of an NNC-GoI Ceasefire in 1964, before the ill fated Shillong Accord. Mr. Phizo personally said he would not “condemn or approve” the Accord since he was never consulted or he ever gave Advice on it.
Some say: “Adino should gracefully resign”; a desirable desire, who would not? but this is the prerogative of her Group, not of others to demand that. The Public is neither her Opponents nor her Central Executives; The Public is Centrists, neither Rights nor Lefts, otherwise on the same ground every Dick and Tom would start demanding Muivah or Manmohan Singh or any Chief Minister to do the same. This is a prerogative of the Party, not of others from outside the Fold.
There is an interesting story: Once an outlandish fellow migrated to a different Village; known for his queer behavior but very clever in things of the world, he tried to own someone’s ancestral Terrace Cultivation (Tekhou) by standing on one of the Terraces and swearing: “Hau Akhou” (this is my Terrace Cultivation, or my Plate). Of course he had already secretly placed his Plate (puoKhou) under the mud of the Terrace where he stood.
Angamis are very clever, you see; and someone, knowing our Character appears mad but very clever and because of the absurdity if not the stupidity of the claim, smelled something fishy and thrust his hand into the mud below the foot, only to feel something hard and on pulling it out found a wooden Plate (puoKhou)!? Had he sworn, our Character could have been legally and technically right but morally a liar because he would have sworn only for his Plate and not for the Terrace field. things often tend to go awry like this in the Nagas: sometimes things morally right comes out practically wrong.
Insisting on the NNC to divest the Shillong Accord expecting Reconciliation to drop down automatically from heavenly places, would be like Mrs. Aü exorcising Evil Spirit from innocent half mad otherwise nice and obedient Pusahie: After some Christian beatings with a small Stick, to which Pusahie uttered ‘Ah..yah’ in some pain: and shooing the mad spirit to come out of him in the name of Jesus, Pusahie was asked whether he believed in Jesus or not and Pusahie sincerely replied: “I believe in Kerosene Oil” !*?
The result of the exercise would never follow the expectation for three reasons:
i. the NNC would say it never signed Shillong Accord
ii. The Factions can not Guarantee Reconciliations would follow,
iii. Angels can become Satan but the Devil can never become an Angel.

Can you imagine good and very nice Christians, living together as good fellow Christians, as dear friends, good neighbors under the same roof, as dearly beloved leaders, would call their each others ‘blasphemers’ for the alleged absurdity of ‘surrendering the dead body of President Zapuphizo to India’ after his death? for allegedly surrendering Phizo’s Passport to Indian Authorities?
Wonderful! Or for doing the allegedly ‘Kenyü’ thing of ‘bringing his dead body to Nagaland?’
During the FGN-GoI Peace Talk Gen. Thinoselie refused to hand over the Arms to GoI, ingenuously Rev. Michael Scot got the Arms deposited with the PEACE MISSION, yet, some still allege the NNC surrendered their Arms to GoI.
Please excuse the Writer for being appallingly indecent, he intends to only for a moment!*
‘One Village in Nagaland publicly disowned the Shillong Accord expecting it would result in something good for the People and the Nagas but the expected good result never came, instead things got worst and more complicated.
Well, the whole intention of this unorthodox scribbling is to put it across to the Public:

‘Let us concentrate on:
i. the FUTURE and
ii. LET THE DEAD BURRY ITS OWN DEAD, exhume only on extreme necessity
iii. AVOID ENDLESS GENEALOGIES, FRUITLESS STORIES INCLUDING PAST GLORIES.

Nagas and India must come to a MUTUAL CONCORD sooner than later.
The Writer’s road-map is this:
1. On India taking cognizance of Naga claim of Sovereignty, Nagaland agrees to a UNION with INDIA for 100years or Negotiated Period, at the end of which Period India and Nagaland shall discuss the Issue for a mutually satisfactory settlement.

8. Non-Nagas in Nagaland Government Service and lived in Nagaland continuously till Super-anuation have the Right to vote in Nagaland.

10. There is a separate Ministry in Nagaland for the Welfare of Minorities in Nagaland.
