NSCN-IM questions SH

NSCN (I-M) has questioned the stand taken by the Sumi Hoho (SH) during the hoho’s executive meeting held on July 19 at Zunheboto on the issue of Naga unification.
The MIP/GPRN in a press release said under the given situation, ambiguous statement would neither serve the purpose nor stabilize the conscience of the Nagas who long for genuine unification. “The travails of life for the Nagas in the post November 23, 2007 has been a traumatic experience, a grim reminder that the unification process of such magnitude cannot be expected to bear fruits when started on shaggy ground and without the backing of moral or ethical conviction,” the NSCN (I-M) said.
The NSCN (I-M) also said the irony of the situation demanded a perspective assessment without prejudice and without being carried away by the wave of vested interests. “Posterity will not forgive us if lessons are not drawn from the unpleasant atmosphere that has overshadowed the Nagas in the name of unification,” it added.
It may be mentioned the Sumi Hoho in its July 19 executive meeting, reaffirmed resolutions adopted earlier with regard to Naga unification. The resolutions include expulsion and excommunication of those Sumis who violated the vow to work towards bringing total unification among the different Naga underground factions and that “the Sumi people shall contribute to Naga Unification group only.”
