Imphal, May 07: Coming down heavily on NSCN-IM general secretary Thuingaleng Muivah and the Government of India, the Federal Government of Nagaland (FGN/NNC) of the Zeliangrong Region has said that while Muivah has now turned towards the Zeliangrong people in order to subjugate under his control, the Government of India sees the Nagas as sub human beings.

Issuing a statement to Newmai News Network today, FGN/NNC Tartar (Member of Parliament) of the Zelianrong Region Tanngam has expressed "anguished and vehement displeasure" for the reason that many Zeliangrong people have been suffering because they are following Th.Muivah.

The FGN/NNC statement alleged that Th.Muivah had abandoned the struggle for the Naga freedom the moment he had left the Naga National Council (NNC).

The FGN/NNC Zeliangrong Region further alleged that Muivah had perpetrated the terrorist activities and thereby he had killed countless Naga army and civilians "in an attempt to annihilate the Naga National Council (NNC), the founding body of the Naga freedom struggle".

It said that Muivah would not be able to kill the NNC even though he will be able to kill its workers.

The statement further alleged that Muivah made himself a leader by using violent means and had calculated elimination of the Naga outstanding leaders.

The FGN/NNC of the Zeliangrong Region also said that those Zeliangrong leaders and the lower ranking NSCN-IM cadres had been completely victimized and their rights had been suppressed by Muivah.

"The UNO should intervene soon as the Indians attitude towards the Nagas as sub-human beings has been felt by the Nagas themselves.

Nagas by birth are independent and sovereignty is inalienable.

NNC as the only common apex body of the Nagas shall continue to fight for total Sovereignty as in the beginning Britisher ruled over a larger part of Nagas (save Tuensang) for 67 years since 1880 (though the alien forces penetrated into Naga areas in 1832 first) and on 14 August, 1947 Nagas declared themselves Independent but India captured Naga areas for the last 60 years ever since 1947 itself ", said the FGN/NNC of the Zeliangrong Region statement.

It then alleged that India has been financing Muivah for Indianising the Nagas and also that the ten years long ceasefire between the GOI and the NSCN-IM has failed miserably and hence India is gaining its ground while Muivah has "fallen headlong into the trap of India as Muivah has become mad for monetary power and leadership".

It then urged that the NSCN-IM hegemony should be eradicated from the soil of the Zeliangrong Region and shun bloodshed among the Nagas in future.
