Prepare for any eventuality: NSCN-IM Chairman Ino Q Tuccu to cadres

Guwahati: Chairman of NSCN- IM Ino Q Tuccu asked NSCN-IM cadres to prepare for any eventuality.

Tuccu in his message on NSCN's Raising day stated, "At this historical defining moment NSCN cadres should not allow ourselves to be caught unprepared; we must tighten our belt to face any eventuality."

He said, " Cries and wailings are heard from nooks and corners of Nagalim day-in day-out, year-in year-out. But the adversaries are yet to give it any damn. No compunction! Not at all! The people, who are proud of their civilization of 5000 years, preach Peace and Ahimsa at the top of their voice across the Globe but keep using force armed with most draconian laws with impunity for more than sixty (60) years against the Nagas. Because of the fact that Nagalim has never been integral part of India, it has been held under forced occupation with martial law of AFSPA from the fifties till date."


The chairman added that Government of India is yet to get serious and honest with the Nagas vis-à-vis the ongoing political talk. Nagas are being taken as if they are purchasable commercial commodities. But God forbids that things should go wrong in the peace process. Government of India is expected to honor the lofty commitments given to us by the former Prime Ministers.

He said that the political stand of the Nagas in the past vis-à-vis India was “nothing to do with India” but today since the Government of India and the NSCN have signed the Framework Agreement, that India and Nagalim shall enter a new relationship for peaceful co-existence of the two entities on the basis of shared sovereignty, meaning, Nagas are sovereign people, Nagas will abide by the principles of the Framework Agreement- nothing above and nothing below the Framework Agreement. Only the principle of the Framework Agreement is the key to an honorable and acceptable solution for durable peace. Neither economic packages nor imposed political packages will bring about lasting solution.

Talks between NSCN-IM and government of india is caught in stalemate as the outfit is insisting on separate flag and Constitution and government of india is unyielding.
