Lamka, November 29: The president of the Kuki National Organisation PS Haokip has hailed the Niuland Declaration of November 23 signed by C Singson of the NSCN Khaplang faction and Azheto Chophy of the IM.

"The declaration will be indelibly etched in Naga history as an unprecedented event to end bloodshed and fratricidal killing long-perpetrated by Th Muivah, general secretary of the NSCN-IM" reads his statement issued today.

In his statement, PS Haokip explicitly slammed Muivah and portrayed him as a mercenary or reactionary traitor full of Marxist and Maoist rhetoric.

With a ploy to unite the entire Naga people he projected the Kukis as enemy and managed to put at loggerheads the old and new Kukis, it arraigned on.

"Muivah also killed Rev Longri Ao, who was designated by the Nagaland Baptist Church Council (NBCC) to work for reconciliation among the Naga factions," after which he fled to Burma he said.

According to Haokip 'a few' of the leaders killed in Nagaland because their noble aspirations for peace and unity of the Nagas contradicted Muivah's 'communalistic designs' include Tobu, Chale, Gen Phuvezo and those NNC leaders eliminated on 14th August 1992 while celebrating the Naga Independece Day at Athibung.

Other prominent leaders mentioned were Dally Margo General Secretary of NSCN-K, Lt Gen Lemchu, Zhekhovi, James Trakha Pochury, Asang Snock Pochury, Gen Phuvezo Chakesang and Chale Keivichusa.

Terming the latest attempt on the life of SC Jamir on 23 November as disgraceful, Haokip said 'it is divine intervention that it was on the same day that the noble Semas and other tribes in Nagaland decided to disengage from the pathological lying leadership, who is anti-Christ.' And on the claims of Muivah, that NSCN-IM are not responsible for the incident, it quoted the Nov 24 issue of Morung Express and said it was 'stage managed'.

Haokip further said, "Muivah and his followers are a scourge to humanity, particularly our society.

It is they who have brought the culture of guns and violence; it is they who indulge in drug trafficking�.who have desecrated our Churches by introducing politics into religion.

How long are we going to tolerate this shame?".

The KNO president also recalled how the KNA were provided hospitality by the NSCN-K when they returned from the training camp of Kachin Independent Organisation.

"At this present-day, our enemy is one who thrives on continuing a culture of killing and assassinations.

I urge my Naga brethren that we stand together to rid this human scourge from our society once and for all," he said allegedly in reference to the NSCN-IM and its leadership.
