ACAUT stand a direct challenge: NSCN(K)

NSCN (K) Saturday said the “unyielding stand of ACAUT” in describing every “nominal taxation” by NPGs for sustenance of the struggle as “illegitimate and unabated” was a “direct challenge to the political legitimacy and identity of the Nagas as a whole” .
In the statement, NSCN (K) asserted that though it was unfortunate, political violence “became inevitable” in nearly a century of prolonged struggle due to the “treasonous activities committed by own Naga leaders and groups” particularly at the behest of “enemy forces, to sabotage the struggle from within”.
NSCN (K) said “these anti-Naga forces” had in the past also propagated public interest and welfare as “their cover” with a hidden agenda to curtail the Naga struggle “to a mere armed gangs” or “secessionist forces”. It said the prices paid were “too costly” and the plight of Nagas continue to “worsen till today”.
 NSCN (K) said  ACAUT’s “hidden agendas and activities” were nothing novel or unexpected and upholding the Indian constitution by citing constitutional guarantees against NPGs was “self explanatory of their anti-Naga intent and purpose”.
Further, it said only time would tell on what benefit and the price ACAUT was willing to pay extent to inflict damage on the Naga struggle.
NSCN (K) warned that ACAUT’s “vigour and penchant” to denigrate any political violence as “terrorist activity, will be well understood, when actual terror befall them.”
According to NSCN (K), ACAUT was neither “ a security nor investigative agency to establish or conclude any political violence as terror activity”. Making public the August 2013 bomb attack on T.K.Service Station that led to blame and counter-blame, NSCN (K) said it erupted after T.K.proprietor “refused to own up the loss of Gypsy” belonging to its joint secretary while it was undergoing repairs at T.K.Service.
NSCN (K) also disclaimed ACAUT’s “immaculately listed serial bombings” which it said were carried out by “individuals at Khehoi camp” whose particulars had already been published in the local dailies.
It further warned, that “unless ACAUT, on behalf of enemy forces” desired to engage NSCN (K) “ in a headlong open conflict of grievous nature” it should first authenticate the allegations before “slamming NSCN/GPRN”.
It also dared ACAUT that if it has the “courage to mock NSCN/GPRN” for sustenance as “hypocrisy and love for Indian money”, then NSCN (K) will “definitely see to it, that ACAUT” will never thrive at the expense of “Naga struggle, no matter how high sounding their cosmetic banner against multiple taxation may appear.” While admitting that a retired judge of Supreme Court of India may be entitled to protocol yet the rest of ACAUT, as a non-entity and non-state agency, “unless overcome by greed and hypocrisy” should not demand remuneration and other official amenities.
