‘GPRN’ regrets Mulatonu’s threat
DIMAPUR, AUG 6 (NPN): Expressing regret over the death threat served to chief minister Neiphiu Rio, Home minister Imkong Imchen and State DGP J Changkija, by special envoy to collective leadership, ‘NSCN/GPRN’, Kuhgalu Mulatonu, the ‘NSCN/GPRN’ has declared Mulatonu’s statement as “null and void.”
MIP, ‘NSCN/GPRN’ in a press release said a meeting of the council of kilonsers, after thorough deliberation and scrutinizing all pros and cons, also withdrew the “allegations” against Rio and Changkija with effect from August 5, 2008.
‘NSCN/GPRN’ however said the chief minister has to bear all “omissions and commissions” of his ministers and MLAs, and the DGP too should bear equal responsibility for “the high handedness, crimes and irregularities” of his junior officers and jawans.
On the other hand, ‘NSCN/GPRN’ charged Home minister Imkong Imchen with a number of anti-‘NSCN/GPRN’ actions and also questioned the Ongpangkong Mundang for challenging the “integrity” of the ‘NSCN/GPRN’ and defending the Home minister.
Stating some ministers and MLAs in Rio’s government were campaigning against the unification among the Nagas, ‘NSCN/GPRN’ warned that all “criminal activities” of some ministers, MLAs, police/IRB officers or jawans against the ‘NSCN/GPRN’ would be treated on individual basis, and not condoned.
NSCN (I-M) reacts to PAC
DIMAPUR, AUG 6 (NPN): Reacting to the statement of the Political Affairs Committee (PAC) of DAN appealing against banning of Sumi Hoho (SH) and Western Sumi Hoho (WSH), the NSCN (I-M) has questioned the credibility and impartiality of the PAC.
While terming PAC’s statement as “a conscience awakening message to the public on behalf of the state government,” the NSCN (IM) in a press release issued by its MIP, accused PAC of being irresponsive to the situation.
The NSCN (I-M) asked where the PAC had been when many innocent civilians were killed like animals in Dimapur and houses of a particular tribe burnt down by members of the group who initiated and shouted “Unification in the most demeaning manner.”
Alleging that the PAC had not issued even a word of condemnation over such incidents, NSCN (I-M) asked “today, where do they (PAC) collect the moral authority to lend its voice in favour of SH and WSH? Where were they when blood was made to flow under the ‘quite notice’ served to the Tangkhul tribe.”
NSCN (I-M) further asked whether PAC had come to terms “on what really constitute the correctness of unification process?”
