GoI-NSCN (I-M) talk will end in failure: Khaplang
NSCN (K) has publicly declared that it would not be part of the government of India and NSCN (I-M) solution to the Naga issue as it would only be a “sell-out” solution.
This was contained in NSCN (K) chairman, S.S Khaplang’s written speech that was read out by kilonser Hokato Vusshe on the occasion of the 33rd republic day celebration of the NSCN (K) at Suruhuto designated camp on March 21.
In the speech, Khaplang also said the ongoing peace talks between the two parties would end as a “big failure.” He claimed that the government of India has realized NSCN (I-M) was not a “mandated body.”
Khaplang reiterated that the NSCN (K) would continue to strive for the Nagas based on political and historical rights and also if other Naga groups were “honest” and opened their hearts.
On the formation of the proposed “Naga National Government”, Khaplang said the effort would not work as it was proposed by some groups without participation of other Naga groups.
On the occasion, the NSCN (K) president said his group would continue to “stand and support other oppressed people” of the Indo-Burma region who aspired for “freedom and shared a common political ideology.” He also reaffirmed NSCN (K)’s “standing pledge and commitment” to the pursuit of “sovereignty.”
The 33rd republic day was observed by the 7th battalion, Suruhuto designated camp Thursday morning.
The chief guest of the function was kilonser Hokato Vusshe. The function was moderated by Khekaho Rochill and ‘2nd lt’ Ruben, chaplain of & battalion Naga Army. Vote of thanks was delivered by deputy kilonser Nikuto Awomi.
