Working Committee refutes NSCN (I-M) charges against Kitovi

Working Committee (WC) Naga National Political Groups (NNPGs) has rubbished an allegation levelled against its convenor N.Kitovi Zhimomi by NSCN (I-M) that he (Kitovi) was colluding with Indian Army.
Terming the allegation as “a figment of imagination”, NNPGs through its media cell maintained that the NSCN (I-M) press statement was cast in “deep personal hatred and contempt, spitting venom of intolerance.” Further, WC said that allegations suggested “a mindset of a debauched leadership” that has sunk into its “lowest ebb, both ideologically and intellectually.”
WC pointed out that in 1994, the 16 Maratha Light Infantry of the Indian army attacked and burnt down N Kitovi Zhimomi’s residence at Mokokchung, where he barely escaped with his life.
WC also termed as “a blatant lie” the NSCN (I-M) claim that Dr. SC Jamir supplied hundreds of arms and ammunition to NSCN (K). WC said Dr.Jamir was the chief minister of the Indian state of Nagaland and not a manufacturer of Kalashnikov rifles or ammunition.
It said that there was always sufficient arms and ammunition for Naga Army to fight for Naga political right. WC said it considered NSCN (I-M)’s “vitriolic, concocted biography” on N Kitovi Zhimomi as “very uncomfortable yet unavoidable acknowledgement of NNPGs political negotiations with the GoI, more so, awareness of the possible outcome.”
