National Socialist Council of Nagalim (Isak-Muivah) has issued an ultimatum, demanding third-party intervention to address what it described as India’s “betrayal” of the Framework Agreement’s terms or else, it would be compelled to resume “armed resistance” to defend Nagalim’s unique history and sovereignty.
This was contained in a statement, signed by NSCN (I-M) general secretary/ato kilonser and chief political negotiator Th. Muivah. He alleged that the Indian government has failed to honour its commitments in the Framework Agreement, which was viewed as essential for Nagalim’s identity.
Muivah argued that the agreement explicitly recognizes Nagalim’s sovereign national flag and constitution, elements which he claimed, were disregarded by the government of India.
Muivah further asserted that NSCN (I-M) would no longer pursue peaceful means due to what he called “ignominious betrayal” by the central government.
He warned that, should conflict arise, the responsibility for any adverse consequences would lie with New Delhi for breaching its commitments.
While emphasizing readiness for armed struggle, Muivah stated that the NSCN (I-M) however remained open to an “honourable political settlement”- provided India fully respects the Framework Agreement’s terms.
He urged Nagalim’s people to prepare for any outcome, expressing confidence in their resilience and commitment to their cause.
