GPRN/NSCN Thursday said if government of India was really sincere in seeking a solution to “Indo-Naga political problem,” then it need not be bothered by “few miscreants stretching a thin rubber between eastern and western Nagaland,” adding ceasefire exist in Nagaland and GPRN/NSCN leadership was consulting the Naga people.
According to a statement issued by MIP of GPRN/NSCN, the problem confronting Naga people in the aftermath of impeachment and expulsion of former chairman S.S Khaplang June 7, 2011 by “national assembly” was the emergence of antisocial elements threatening Naga people, especially business establishments with violence and bloodshed.
It maintained that bomb explosion, twice in a short span of time, was a wake up call for Nagas to assess real intention of “these elements propagating the name of S.S Khaplang.”
MIP said GPRN/NSCN was clear that if “they want to hang on to Khaplang, they should go to Burmese side and indulge in violence and extortion.”
The publicity wing also asserted that to still regard Khaplang as GPRN president was comparable to “few Egyptian lunatics who still call “discarded Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak as the president of Egypt.”
It further went on to assert that till 2010, Hosni Mubarak signed many peace agreements, treaties and business ventures with other countries yet former president was now a mere public while agreements he signed were still in force implemented by new Egyptian leaders.
GPRN/NSCN state that S.S Khaplang, in his time, endorsed ceasefire with GoI in 2001 and did signed Covenant of Reconciliation in 2008 yet by the verdict of the “national assembly” on June 7, 2011, as per “national yehzabo”, all GPRN presidential responsibilities and NSCN chairman’s authority and powers now vested with “Gen.” Khole Konyak as smooth transition of responsibility has completed.
GPRN/NSCN also stated that it was “closely monitoring a group of anti-social elements who, under the shadow of S.S Khaplang, appears to have found a perfect way to make easy money through extortion threats and intimidation of business community and offices in Nagaland.”
Meanwhile, the GPRN/NSCN appealed to general public and business community and offices in Nagaland not to “cow down to the threats and dictats of extortionists such as A Kits, L Tuccu, A K Yeptho, G Sema etc., men with criminals records in various police stations”.
The MIP said GPRN/NSCN would not hesitate to arrest “these men as each has a non-existent government in their pockets.”
“If Nagas really desires peace and unity, these anti social elements must jointly be controlled,” said GPRN/NSCN and demanded the law enforcing agencies to put an end to activities of “these prime offenders” who were keeping the business community and offices in Nagaland at ransom.
