Kohima, February 28 (NEPS): The NSCN (K) has today demanded the Nagaland Chief Minister, Neiphiu Rio, to come clean on the ongoing peace process between the Government of India and the NSCN (IM).

Because he kept telling that the Government of India-NSCN (IM) talks were heading in the �right direction�.

Talking to NEPS over phone from somewhere Nagaland�s Mon district today, NSCN (K) Kilonser (Minister) Kughalu Mulatonu said time has come for the Chief Minister of Nagaland to spell out what was the �right direction all about�.

The NSCN (K) leader also questioned the DAN Government�s role as �facilitator� to the peace process.

�How could a facilitator say that the talks between the Government of India and the NSCN (IM) was heading in the right direction unless he knew what was there,� Mulatonu asked.

But in reality, a facilitator cannot be a party to such process, he added.

�Therefore he (Rio) has to spell out what was the right direction all about,� the NSCN (K) leader pointed out adding, �Otherwise he will be marked as a liar in the future history of the Nagas�.

The NSCN (K) Kilonser also disclosed it had cut off relation with the Consultative Committee on Peace (CCP) of the DAN Government.

He further scoffed at the �equi-closeness� of the DAN Government saying it was meant for the NSCN (IM) only not for others.

Mulatonu also lamented on Rio�s statement that latter was willing to resign and vacate his chair for Isak and Muivah.

He further termed Rio as �a confused and weak person,� saying such person leading a democratic Government in Nagaland was �unacceptable�.

The NSCN (K) leader stated Rio and co.

should know that the ongoing talks are no more the Government of India-NSCN (IM) one but �Government of India-Muivah� because the Chairman of the NSCN (IM), Isak Chishi Swu, was no more a party to the talks as he was already away in Amsterdam.

The NSCN (K) leader also said the NSCN (IM) has as much as 4 Naga mandates - in Niuland in 1999, in Bangkok in 2000, in New Delhi and in Hebron in 2005.
