Dimapur, April 6: The National Socialist Council of Nagalim under Isak Chishi Swu and Th Muivah today declared that “abductions and lootings” have become a part and parcel of this unification process, ever since Azheto Chopy and Mulatonu joined at Vihokhu in the name of unification, and asserted that the unification group is “indulging in anti-unification activities.”
An MIP press release, while asserting this, stated that “the NSCN has gone all the way to exercise utmost restrain despite provocative confrontation through abductions and lootings of its arms and vehicles these so called traitors and defectors who are calling themselves as unification group have gone overboard by indulging in all sorts of anti-unification activities”.
Saying that “the deception of unity is getting all the more a reality,” the release stated that a three day national leaders ‘fasting and prayer’ program was organized at CHQ church, Hebron from January 11-13, 2007 on the theme “forgiveness and reconciliation”, where the Collective Leadership actively participated throughout the meeting. It stated that the programme included prayer for NSCN peace initiative towards people and other groups, and also prayer for the support and cooperation of the people, civil societies and churches towards peace process.
The release stated that on the last date of the program the ‘Yaruiwo Isak Chishi Swu proclaimed on January 13 that ‘whosoever committed crime against the people and the NSCN is forgiven’ in the name of the Jesus Christ. The Yaruiwo also urged “these groups and individuals, who have committed serious political mistakes in the past to seek forgiveness from the people”.
In this regard, the release maintained that ‘this is a historic national proclamation on unity and NSCN are committed to stand by it in spirit and in action’. However, ‘to the bewilderment of NSCN the Yaruiwo’s proclamation was snipped by Khaplang group when Mulatuno responded “we don’t have anything to do with Isak Chishi Swu and Muivah”. Going further he likened the NSCN as terrorists having link with Al-qaeda,’ the release stated.
“In the face of such deep-rooted NSCN’s initiative on unity and the magnanimity that signifies the proclamation, the forces of destruction came like a breeze before the storm,” the release declared. The release stated that Azheto, ‘the then Home Minister of GPRN/NSCN, lifting the flag of Yaruiwo’s proclamation run away from Isak Chishi Swu at Hebron on 23rd November 2007 for the clandestine meeting with Mulatuno at Vihokhu village’.
“To the Nagas that comes like a degenerative disease ‘unification’ was announced in the manner that signal the beginning of the sinister game plan controlled by anti-Naga unity forces that is apparently acting like a cunning thief but showing the deceptive face of unity,” the release stated and wondered, “Is this the face of unity? Can unity begin with breaking of unity thread?”
Meanwhile, the NSCN (IM) has notified that Dy Kilonser Daniel has been discharged from GPRN service on medical ground with effect from April 7, 2008.
