In a strong reaction to the NSF counter rejoinder, GPRN\/NSCN maintained that it along with the rest of the Nagas would have applauded the Federation if the bandh called on July 1 was to protest against various other issues such as-against disunity, clashes and killings among Naga national workers; against multiple rampant taxation; against corruption in state government offices; to force the Nagaland state government against taking \u201cabnormal cuts in all contract works\u201d and to stop unrestrained entry of illegal immigrants into Nagaland. <\/p>\n
GPRN\/NSCN said if the NSF had called for the bandh on the above issues, its popularity ratings with the rest of the Nagas would have skyrocketed.<\/p>\n
However, GPRN\/NSCN said Nagaland was shut down on July 1 when NSF bandh called to protest against what was termed as an \u201cassassination attempt\u201d after a stray bullet hit the NSF office bearer.<\/p>\n
It asserted that if NSF believed the bandh and ultimatums would strengthen \u201cNaga political struggle\u201d then either the pillars of the NSF \u201chave corroded beyond repair or the students manning it simply lack capacity to respond to a given situation\u201d.<\/p>\n
Slamming the NSF, GPRN\/NSCN said whether or not the NSF was \u201cremote controlled or done with correct conscience\u201d, it acted like \u201csome recently installed North Korean boy dictator\u201d. <\/p>\n
GPRN\/NSCN said \u201cissuing ultimatums and indulging in negative rhetoric\u201d was not good for students as it was \u201cwrong politics\u201d and alleged that federating units were \u201cbeing misled\u201d. <\/p>\n
It said the first firing incident took place near Lotha Baptist Church at Lower Chandmari, Kohima when one NSCN(K) cadre appeared with a pistol after which a few rounds were exchanged. <\/p>\n
It said let alone the NSF official, there were only a Tata Mobile, a taxi van with an old lady inside and a Maruti Alo taxi which sped away.<\/p>\n
Later, it said, NSCN(K) boys from Mezhur Higher Secondary School side, chased GPRN\/NSCN officials at a traffic jam near Police Point resulting in exchange of fire.<\/p>\n
It said the GPRN\/NSCN cadre only defended himself and escaped. It asked if the NSF official was at the scene in both incidents, then was it a coincidence or deliberate?<\/p>\n
It also asserted that shooting from point blank range meant firing from a \u201cvery,very close range with little or no distance to evade bullets\u201d and that unless the gun misfired or the target \u201cturned into a fly or an ant\u201d he or she would be dead or seriously wounded. <\/p>\n
GPRN\/NSCN said it was untrue that despite whatever NSF or AYO or any organisations wanted Nagas to believe, Kesosul Christopher Ltu was \u201calive and well.\u201d <\/p>\n
Slamming the NSF for whipping up public emotions for \u201cwrong reasons\u201d and for terming the July 25 incident as an \u201cassassination attempt\u201d, GPRN\/NSCN reminded the that students are the soul of Naga nationhood and whose future was the objective of \u201cour political struggle\u201d. <\/p>\n
It asserted that \u201cboys like Mr Kesosul Christopher Ltu\u201d deserve to \u201clive and be a part of the greater Naga future\u201d. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
