Imphal, May 20:
The GPRN has accused Khaplang of deliberately misinterpreting 'Azha' with the dual intention of creating confusion among the general public and project GPRN as anti-Naga.
Clarifying that serving Azha do not entail curtailment or check freedom and liberty of the Naga people as was wrongly construed by Khaplang, a statement issued by Ministry of information and Publicity said "if we refer the Azha vis-a-vis present situation in Nagalim, it is crystal clear that the Azha is an empowerment of concern authority to check unwanted and perilous activities of mob in future".
Reminding all concerned that mob uprising cannot be equated or interpreted as synonymous to freedom and liberty of mankind, the GPRN asserted that the fact 'no liberty or freedom is unlimited' should be upheld by every human being and nationalists at all times.
"The GPRN is also amazed with the wisdom of Khaplang in interpreting mob uprising in consonance with fundamental right of people.
Fundamental rights at any point or/and part justifies destruction of property or killing.
'Mob' cannot be, at any cost termed as Fundamental Rights of the people and therefore should not be misinterpreted as Fundamental rights of people by any person to hypnotize/mislead the Naga masses," it maintained.
The rebel group, currently observing ceasefire with the Govt of India also explained that 'use of power' will certainly justify of it is necessitated towards controlling situation which the authority discerns as perilous and destructive to the people and the Govt in particular.
Affirming that the GPRN as peoples' Govt has the prerogative to preserve peace and harmony in the society for which use of appropriate means including force may be imminent.
With mob signifying unruly crowd or unlawful agitated gathering such an assembly do not have any relationship with public gathering, rally etc having peaceful undertone, the statement mentioned and affirmed that GPRN is not adverse to public rally, gathering etc.
Describing as unfortunate Khaplang interpreting Naga mob against Naga people as lawful, the GPRN further cautioned it would not tolerate instigating Naga against Naga by the Khaplang group while the adversary Govts have been consistently working on further divide and sub-divide the Nagas.
As Nagas always believe 'truth prevails', it added.
