Imphal, Mar 23:
Chairman of the National Socialist Council of Nagaland – Khaplang group (NSCN-K), Yung Aung has said that their stand on Naga Political issue is loud and clear – the only point to discuss with either India or Myanmar is ‘Sovereignty’ and nothing else.
In his message on occasion of the 43rd Republic Day celebrated at their council head quarter on March 21, 2023, which is made available to media houses, Chairman/ President of the NSCN-K, Yung Aung criticized some of the Naga Political groups, which he alleged to have given up their national pledge.
“The ugly truth is that GOI is utilizing these groups to barter the real Naga issue and the Naga political history is changing from bad to worse as these groups are in the process to commit another ‘SHILLONG ACCORD’ to reduce our hard-fought struggle to a mere SOLUTION under Indian constitution. These groups are expecting an empty vessel from GOI and their beclouded visions ends in New Delhi”, Yung Aung said in his message.
Yung Aung further said, “The NSCN/GPRN, as the Naga people’s mandate, has the final political authority and legitimacy to declare the sell-out ‘FRAMEWORK, AGREEMENT’ and ‘AGREED POSITION’ as null and void solution and has no legal binding whatsoever. We will never allow another Naga political blunder to happen under the pretext of Indo-Naga Solution. We will continue to defend the Naga political and historical rights at any cost. NSCN/GPRN will out-rightly reject any hideous anti-Naga solution compromising the political stand of the whole Nagas spreading across the imposed boundaries. Despite all their tall, claims and clamour, the current Naga peace process is infested with unprecedented level of division and disharmony which only complicated the issue even further.”
The message added that the Nagas are free in every sense for thousands of years. Every tribe, every village, every clan or family is free from any domination, persecution or tyranny until the British Imperialism dominated both India and Myanmar. Right after the ‘Colonialist left, these two countries came and illegally occupied the Naga’s land. Naga’s forefathers foresee that Nagas has no future under the Colonialists India and Myanmar hence they fought with all their might so that the future Naga generations may live free as in the ancient times, in spite of the enemy’s might, Naga’s ancestors refused to let tyranny and oppression triumph over their freedom and liberty.
It further added that for many decades both India and Myanmar apply deliberate policies to systematically muzzle the Naga people’s right to self-determination and in the course committed brutal atrocities which is a serious violation of international norms GOI has even gone to the extent to called the Naga patriots as ‘TERRORISTS’ in the land of their birth while Nagas are still subjected to her terrorist laws.
Nagas has been partitioned and occupied against the wishes by India and Myanmar who were once subjected to people.
“Today Myanmar remains a country in deep conflict which shattered their political, economic and social system completely and as a dominated people we Nagas feel what millions of common people in Myanmar have gone through yet Nagas cannot remain oblivious to the current Myanmar turmoil or allow their instability to destabilize the Nagas’ struggle for Independence”, Yung Aung said.
He further said that the Naga tribal bodies, Churches, Students, Civil societies and Intellectuals have all the right reasons to label those political groups (engaging in dialogue with the GOI) as anti-people for misleading and confusing the Nagas for the last many years.
NSCN/GPRN is fully alive and resolute in our commitment and we will continue to carry forward the political issue with full courage and dignity till to the very end, Yung Aung added.
