NSCN (I-M) through its MIP has reiterated that the August 3 Framework Agreement signed between the Government of India’s Interlocutor and its collective leadership offered “hope for a new era for Nagas” but accused “some elements” of being hell bent and actively working towards exacting “maximum collateral damage to the historic political achievement” even going to the extent of “treacherous hijack and sabotage.”
While stating that the government of India “led by the dynamic prime minister Mr Narendra Modi” was selflessly working to solve the protracted Naga issue, NSCN (I-M) cautioned it would be unfortunate if the ongoing political process was compelled to derail due to “some anti peace and anti Framework agents”.
Further, MIP said under such circumstances, these will be interpreted as a “sheer wilful act against the peaceful interests of both the government of India and the Naga nation.”
NSCN (I-M) MIP said it was “strange” that some organisation were “apparently trying to overtake other leading organisations” as they panicked by realising that the decades-old “Indo Naga political problems” was expected to be “completed sooner than expected.”
In the light of the above, NSCN (I-M) appealed to people and all organisations to “come forward in safeguarding the prevailing peace “ and strengthen the path of peace process and an honourable political settlement.
