DIMAPUR: Provisional Government of NSCN has expressed scepticism over the arrival of the Hebron/NSCN delegation led by Maj. Gen. (retd.) Ramkathing Varah in Eastern Nagalim under a “Peace Campaign” and reconciliation initiative involving the NSCN-K factions led by Ang Mai and Yung Aung.
In a statement, political co-ordinator, Eastern Nagalim, Provisional Government, GPRN, Angyo Jacob Tangshang Naga, said the organisation was closely scrutinising the group’s movements and political activities in Eastern Nagalim and beyond.
The statement questioned the Hebron/NSCN’s credibility to speak on the Naga political issue, alleging that its “competencies” submitted on January 2, 2020, represented a departure from the established Naga political principle and broader Naga aspirations.
It said peace and unity should not be used to expand political influence, and maintained that no group had the mandate to redefine the Naga national position. It also opposed reducing the Naga political issue to an arrangement acceptable to New Delhi or subordinating the Naga national principle to constitutional limitations imposed by India.
The Provisional Government also raised the unresolved issue of the alleged killing of four of its cadres– ‘maj.’ Sochipem Phungshok, ‘sgt. maj.’ Zairei, ‘sgt.’ Bahnle Ahlahpyah and ‘sgt.’ Thansomi Vashi– at Hongpei village on March 28, 2026. It alleged that Hebron/NSCN had not provided a satisfactory explanation for the deaths.
The statement cautioned Naga national workers and cadres across different camps to remain vigilant against what it described as attempts to use the language of peace and reconciliation for political advantage.
It asserted that Eastern Nagalim was “not a political vacuum” and that no organisation could unilaterally establish authority or dictate terms there under the guise of peace. The Provisional Government further alleged that Indian political influence was being brought into Eastern Nagalim through Hebron under the cover of reconciliation and said any genuine initiative for Naga unity should be based on political integrity and adherence to the Naga national principle.
It warned that any further attempt to “breach” the peaceful fabric of Eastern Nagalim would not be tolerated.
