NSCN (I-M) has clarified that Pan Naga Hoho (PNH) was still in incubation stage and that no one should give panic reaction.
Reacting to public reactions regarding the power of PNH chairman, the group in a statement assured that such subject of critical importance that concerned the Nagas was something that would not be processed in damning hurry, adding that it also did not warrant wild speculation.
As conceived by the Central government and discussed and accepted by NSCN (I-M) taking into consideration the necessity to have such an umbrella set-up for the larger unity and welfare of Nagas living in different regions, when PNH passed through the critical stage of political scrutiny, it would naturally come out in the open, the release stated. However, assuring that PNH did not undermine any democratic political institution as perceived by others, NSCN (I-M) said such widely diffused view was unfounded.
Mentioning that the irony of the situation was apparent to everyone and that things were moving too slow, the group assured that when PNH would concretise, it would take into account the social, cultural, literature, identity and interests of the Nagas. Till then the less fuss made about it the better, it added.
