Nagi to be released soon: NSCN (I-M)

Fifteen days after the abduction of general secretary, NNC (Non- Accordist), V. Nagi and his bodyguard by the NSCN (I-M), the NSCN (I-M) Tuesday said Nagi would be released within a short time.
Talking to mediapersons on the sidelines of the celebration of Tuluni festival by Sumi national workers here at Hebron Camp, NSCN (I-M) kilo kilonser (Home minister) Kedutsü Tsuzuh said the NNC leader would be release “within this week.” Asked why Nagi was abducted, Tsuzuh said the NSCN (I-M) was seeking answers from the NNC leader to a “number of questions” including his early life and as an NNC functionary.
The NNC leader alongwith his bodyguard was earlier abducted by some armed NSCN (I-M) activists on June 23 from Oking Hospital, Kohima.
On recognition of the rival’s Khehoi camp in Dimapur as a designated camp by the Government of India, Tsuzhu said the NSCN (I-M) was opposed to the decision and alleged that the camp was set up by an “illegal” organization.
MIP kilonser, NSCN (I-M) Vikiye also alleged that the idea of the designated camp in Dimapur for the rival faction was the handiwork of the Government of India. On the unification move initiated by a breakaway faction of the NSCN (I-M) led by former kilo kilonser Azheto Chophi, Vikiye said “unification cannot be handled in this manner. There is a system.”
Affirming that any unification move should be transparent and acceptable to all Nagas, the MIP kilonser said the “so-called unification” move, which was launched on November 22 midnight, was fraught from the very beginning as things were done under cover of darkness. He said the manner in which the “unification group” marched off with arms and ammunitions, rank and files of the NSCN (I-M) could hardly be termed as transparent.
 “If they run away from the camp and call themselves as unification group and then give direction to Isak, Muivah and Khodao to join them – how will you interpret this?” Vikiye asked. He further claimed that the NSCN (I-M) leadership had, after November 22 incident, talked continuously to the “group” for one month and nine days and tried to convince them that unification should be done in “proper manner.”
Meanwhile, NSCN (I-M) “Kilonser” FEM, Q. Tuccu in his speech during the Tuluni programme asked the gathering to convey to the GPRN/NSCN that it bore no ill-feelings against them and that it deeply felt the need to be united.
