Imphal, Aug 23: Asserting that the Tangkhul master minds have already deputed their intelligence agents to every nook and corner of Nagaland in the guise of school teachers, nurses, office workers, businessmen and mission workers, a statement issued by the Ministry of Information and Publicity of NSCN/GPRN noted that it has been compelled to weed out such 'criminals' from Nagaland.

Stating that the simple, honest and hospitable Nagas could no longer tolerate bloodshed in any form on Naga soil because of some blood thirsty Tangkhuls leaders, the statement disclosed that the NSCN/GPRN has been constrained to take up this measure (serving quit notice to Tangkhuls) in order to bring peace in the strife-torn Nagaland wreaked by the Tangkhuls.

Concerning the 'IM terrorist orchestrated reactions' to the NSCN's quit notice issued from respective regional authorities to the Tangkhuls, it observed that such reactions are nothing but clear incitements to carry on its campaign more vigorously.

Noting that the outfit did not bother whether such reactions were incitements, abetment or appeasements, it declared that it would do whatever is necessary while mentioning that the NSCN/GPRN's Ato Kilonser N Kitovi had assured that the outfit would not target innocent persons.

It appealed to all Tangkhuls to leave Nagaland safe and sound before anything undesirable happened to them and to avert any case of mistaken identities, self invited consequences etc.

Taking strong exception to the alleged unqualified reactions of NBCC and NSF, it recalled of the resolutions adopted by UNC at the behest of IM group in 1992 to serve quit notice to the Kukis.

Following the resolution, IM 'terrorist groups' in the name of Kuki Naga clashes, butchered hundreds of Kukis including women and children besides devastating hundreds of Kuki villages in early 90's.Noting that during the prolonged carnage, not a single voice of concern was raised either by the Churches or the so-called human right groups or the NSF, it ridiculed the voices of concern raised by some social and human rights activists today.

The NSCN/GPRN further questioned the credibility of the so called Naga sympathisers or supporters from across the border specially western people who have been extremely concerned with its quit notice to Tangkhuls when they remained mute spectators all along the past half a century of Indian aggression and oppression.

It also flayed the foreigners for poking their noses into Naga affairs only after the cease-fire pacts were signed without knowing 'who is who and what is what'.

Reacting with contempt to the write-ups of the so called Naga Solidarity Group against its resolution to sever all communications with auxiliary bodies of IM group including the Naga Hoho, NSF and NPMHR and the quit notice served on the Tangkhuls, the GPRN advised all the signatories to re-examine their actions and apologise to the Naga nationalists.

It asserted that the message sent by Naga National Council to the Secretary General of the United Nations Organisation on August 14, 1947 that the Nagas wouldbe independent was acknowledged and put on record by the UNO.

Questioning the authenticity of the Naga International Support Centre and the Naga Solidarity Group to interfere in Naga affairs, it said that any domestic or international right group or civil society supporting the legitimate Naga cause in the entirety without adopting partisan roles would be appreciated and respected, it declared that any partisan role or pre-judicial acts would be rejected by NSCN/GPRN.

The statement further asked all concerned not to sow any more seeds of discord and division among the Nagas by supporting one group while accusing the other.

Asserting that who are nationalists and who are anti-nationalists will be known at the end of the struggle, it reiterated that sovereign independent Nagaland, nothing more, nothing less, is the objective of NSCN/GPRN.
