NSCN (I-M) through its MIP has said there is \u201cutter confusion\u201d and discontentment among Nagas on the \u201cIndo-Naga peace talk\u201d which has led to \u201cpointing accusing fingers on the very people who brought the ceasefire and the peace process\u201d as people misconstrued that peace talks have been delayed due to flag and constitution.
However, MIP said that was not so since both flag and constitution were the \u201ccomponent ingredients embraced in the Framework Agreement (FA). To clarify the matter, MIP said in official talks neither R.N. Ravi nor A.K. Mishra had ever stated that there was no flag nor constitution in the FA.
Rather, MIP said \u201cflip flopping habitual betraying character\u201d of the government of India took center stage when it sowed the seeds of confusion \u201cin order to disown the FA.\u201d
MIP said the government of India was therefore \u201centirely responsible for the delay\u201d and that it (GoI) need to come clean since Nagas have had enough of the government of India\u2019s \u201coverly pretentious appearance on the Indo-Naga peace talk.\u201d
According to MIP, the government of India caused division within Naga people when it signed two agreements- Framework Agreement and later Agreed Position. MIP asked, if the government of India was \u201cgenuinely sincere\u201d for an early solution, then why had it singed \u201ctwo agreements for one people and one common issue?\u201d
MIP said while both the agreements were parallel, yet one was \u201cwithin Indian constitution\u201d and the other \u201coutside the purview of the Indian constitution.\u201d
MIP highlighted salient features in favour of FA such as: (1) Government of India has recognised the \u201cuniqueness of the Naga history and its position, that Nagas were never part of Indian union either by conquest or consent. It therefore asked, how can the Naga national movement be without flag and constitution?
(2) Citing universal principle that in democracy, sovereignty lies with the people, MIP said it should be noted that FA acknowledged and accepted the \u201cdeclaration of Naga Independence Day on 14th August 1947 and the Plebiscite of 1951\u201d and therefore, the flag and constitution are the embodiment of the FA.
(3) According to MIP, \u201csharing of sovereign powers\u201d in the FA was a recognition and acceptance of Naga sovereignty and not a case of \u201cIndian constitutional provision granting power division\u201d. MIP questioned, how can it be said that there is no flag or constitution when every sovereign nation has its own flag and constitution?
(4) MIP said \u201cnew relationship\u201d is a declaration of a \u201cnew arrangement\u201d which meant there cannot be settlement within the existing Indian constitution and so the term \u201cnew relationship\u201d was agreed upon.
(5) According to MIP, \u201ccoexistence\u201d defined two people to coexist with understanding and conditional arrangement.
(6) It said \u201ctwo entities\u201d defined two separate people so how can it be said that there is no flag and constitution in the FA?
MIP said the irony of all was that this matter was resolved long back but the RSS factor came in between, that questioned how could there be two flags and two constitutions? According to MIP, the manifesto of RSS\/Hindutva sharply contradicted the principle agreement of the FA.
It said these \u201cunwarranted policy the Government of India is testing the nerve of the Nagas and delaying the whole process\u2019.
MIP said it was time that the government of India make its stand very clear on which one of the two agreements would be used for the final agreement.
By simply inviting the NSCN(I-M) to Delhi for \u201cpeace talk without going through the detoxification process will not help expedite the Naga political solution\u201d, it said.
MIP asked whether the \u201clegitimacy of the FA as proclaimed before the world by the Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi be put in the bargaining level with another agreement which was signed surreptitiously?\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
