The joint council meeting charged both Sumi Hoho and WSH for misleading the \u201cinnocent national workers\u201d who defected from the NSCN (I-M) with arms, by blatantly misinterpreting the proclamation of the Yaruiwo (NSCN-IM chairman Isak Chishi Swu) on reconciliation based on national principle.
The MIP\/NSCN (I-M) in a press release stated that on November 27, 2007, the Sumi Hoho and WSH in a meeting held at Niuland, went to the extreme to support former NSCN (IM) kilo kilonser Azheto\u2019s initiated unification and to excommunicate all Sumi National Workers who did not toe the line of SH and WSH by supporting the unification.
The same stand was taken in subsequent meetings of the Sumis under the aegis of \u201cthese tainted organizations\u201d, and approved three times on December 11, 2007, January 15, 2008 and April 14 2008, the NSCN (I-M) said, while adding that on May 7, 2008, the unification group merged with the NSCN (K).
NSCN (I-M) also alleged that the present SH\/WSH leadership went a step further by passing a resolution that the Sumis would contribute only to one group of National Workers and that no contribution in any form would be extended to any faction that did not cooperate with Naga\u2019s unification.
\u201cChoosing to go for a head on confrontation with NSCN, the SH\/WSH leaders took the stand on the principle of \u2018unification first and then solutions\u2019, which is a total contrast to the NSCN\u2019s principle,\u201d NSCN (I-M) said. The NSCN (I-M) also claimed that in order to push forward the implementation of the resolution, the Sumi Hoho in its executive meeting held on July 19 at Zunheboto, entrusted the work to the Core Committee.
\u201cWhen these Sumi apex organizations over played their role and deliberately choosing to go for collision course with NSCN by misinterpreting every good meaning of unification as per the proclamation of the Yaruiwo on reconciliation based on national principles, there was left with no option but to ban SH and WSH with immediate effect,\u201d the NSCN (I-M) added.
It further cautioned that no civil societies should consider themselves greater than the \u201cnational freedom organization,\u201d which had carried the \u201cnational burden for more then 50 years.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
