In response to NSCN/GPRN (K) claim that three of its members had appended signatures as per tradition practiced at any meeting, the GPRN/NSCN Sunday said signatures of Kughalu Mulatonu, Niki Sumi and Hokato Vushe, published in the media, were not a meeting signature “by any stretch of imagination.”
According to MIP, on June 7, the three signatories “were not confused as to what kind of assembly it was”, adding they raised their hands “without any hesitation” when “Tatar Hoho speaker” sought the members’ approval.
“GPRN/NSCN would only say that an impeachment of any leader in the revolutionary period cannot be done haphazardly,” MIP statement maintained.
The MIP asserted that if “Suruhuto Camp” was adamant that “those runaway signatories were deaf and dumb” during the “National Hoho”, then it would make available graphic images of them hailing Khaplang’s impeachment and also their acceptance of “Gen.” Khole Konyak as the new NSCN Chairman and GPRN president June 15, 2011.
“When called to clarify, GPRN/NSCN’s documents will always be available,” the MIP said, and alleged that objectives of S.S Khaplang and “those endorsing his name at Suruhuto” appeared to be plunging into different destinations.
The GPRN/NSCN also said that “if character assassinations, fallacy, hypocrisy and denials over proven facts were the required elements in the Indo-Naga political struggle, those elements at Suruhuto Camp inventing ridiculous stories would be called upon to lead the Naga people.”
But it said, unfortunately, Naga people have analysed each one of them individually and has established the true motive behind their “sudden infatuation for expelled chairman S.S Khaplang.”
Meanwhile, the GPRN/NSCN “clarified” that Suruhuto designated camp was established as per Ceasefire agreement between GoI and NSCN, and that the camp was established in Sumi region to “primarily cater to the security needs of Ato Kilonser N Kitovi Zhimomi.”
Maintaining that Suruhuto camp was its “official designated Camp”, the MIP, GPRN/NSCN said “officers and men” at Suruhuto Camp still owed their allegiance to former c-in-c and now chairman “Gen.” Khole, and general secretary N Kitovi Zhimomi.
“The soldiers inside have simply been misguided and threatened into supporting expelled Chairman S.S Khaplang by superiors,” the MIP alleged.
Further, claiming that recently Indo Burma Revolutionary Front (IBRF) was restructured and now it was known as North East Joint Forces Alliance (NEJFA), the MIP said clearly Suruhuto Camp was being projected as the transit camp for the NEJFA.
GPRN/NSCN asserted that it would not allow its “legitimate designated Camp” to be used as “a furnace of violence in Nagaland or in the NE Region.”
Stating that presence of “Naga army” around Suruhuto Camp was not to confront anyone, the GPRN/NSCN said however if Naga soil was to be used to propagate violence in the region, then it would take “necessary steps to prevent illegal occupation of Suruhuto camp by NEJFA.”
It also cautioned Indian security forces, especially Assam Rifles and IRB and the state administration not to harass and provoke Naga army without ascertaining the facts, saying “Naga Army has every right to operate in areas that are under threat from outside forces.”
Further, alleging that Suruhuto camp was being used to shelter non-Naga forces and those occupying the camp have “demeaned and diluted the Naga issue,” the MIP said “they have failed to differentiate between social problem and political problem.”
Maintaining that the camp belonged to GPRN/NSCN, the MIP therefore asked the occupants to go and find Khaplang wherever he was.
