Dimapur, November 27:
Confusion continues to reign among the general public following the Friday Niuland declaration.
In an interview with a Nagaland based newspaper yesterday, the leaders who had taken the November 23 initiative, while calling themselves as 'Unification Team" said, " When we say NSCN, we mean Nagaland and not Nagalim." The "Unification Team" also said that "any Naga leader who is against the unification move is not a Naga".
The "Unification Team" then stated that they would soon finalise on who will be heading the organization after consulting the tribal Hohos.
Even after four days of the hectic drama, no official statements have come forth from either the top NSCN-K set up or the NSCN-IM.
However NSCN-IM Chairman Isak Chisi Swu had earlier stated that "any independent unity move" shall not be acceptable.
Reiterating their earlier statement, the "Unification Team" said that their "newly unified NSCN" should not be prefixed nor suffixed with any other letters or words as in the case of NSCN-K and NSCN-IM.
"We are just the NSCN," said C.Singson.However, even after this Herculean development, both the factions of the NSCN continue to hurl each other with allegations on certain matter.
The NSCN-K has accused the NSCN-IM for the life attempt on the Governor of Goa and former Chief Minister of Nagaland S.C Jamir in Mokokchung in Nagaland on November 24.On the other hand, the NSCN-IM has termed the allegation of the rival faction, the NSCN-K as "nothing surprising".
"The reaction of the Khaplang group in putting the blame on the NSCN for the ambush on Goa Governor SC Jamir was nothing surprising and that rather it had come on expected line.
But what matters is the fabricating of the story that is far from the logical conviction", stated the NSCN-IM while denying carrying out such life attempt on S.C.Jamir.
