Newmai News Network
DIMAPUR, Jun 19 : The NSCN (IM) has asserted that a number of devious plans had been executed by the adversaries to ‘murder’ the Naga National issue, but the agenda has been defeated and will continue to be defeated.
In a statement, NSCN (IM) said that the Naga National right is inherent, not a generous gift of the Constitution of any country, and that the right can never be robbed or murdered by any force.
“We have lived by our National right yesterday, we are living by it today and we shall live by it tomorrow because our right is the foundation of our existence and Nationhood,” it asserted. NSCN (IM) further said that the inherent right of a people is ageless and timeless. Nation-States that are built on the foundation of their respective National rights are alive to claim their rightful place in the comity of Nations, it added.
It is not a new thing to all that those opportunists, collaborators, traitors and other pseudo nationalists used to participate in peoples’ revolutionary movements in sheep’s clothing. They are deserters, it claimed and added “Ironically, people with similar traits of character have penetrated into NSCN.”
The outfit said, “History says that no people of that kind have ever built a kingdom, rather they destroy”, adding, “Naturally, they do not have the supporting materials that are politically correct to liberate a people and build a State”.
NSCN (IM)  said it is pointless to level false allegations on collection of taxes by the Government of the People’s Republic of Nagalim (GPRN) adding that collection of taxes by a Government from its citizen is a legitimate right. It also said that even the representatives of the Government of India who are engaged in political dialogue with NSCN leaders recognize this right. “But GPRN is opposed to extortions and excesses if ever committed by the collectors. That is the area the Government (GPRN) has to deal with strong hands,” it added.
Thge outfit further said that it focuses on issues and “we can say we have made commendable achievements to some extent on vital issues of both internal and external affairs (matters)”. It also said it is not new to the restlessness of critics and adversaries trying to smear NSCN’s image in the eyes of the world with destructive scheme of things. “In principle, we run our Government and conduct affairs of the State on the basis of collective decision-making culture,” it added.
NSCN (IM) also said that for any matter of national importance, the Collective Leadership consisting of the Yaruiwo (President), the Kedallo (Vice-president) and the Ato Kilonser (Prime Minister) always consult the Members of the Collective Leadership, the Convener of the Steering Committee and the Kilonser (Minister) of the Kilo (Home) Affairs. “On security related matters, the Longvibu (Chief) of the Naga Army is consulted,” it added.
