IMPHAL, Feb 26: Denouncing NSCN (IM) as killing machine, Kuki National Organisation (KNO) has stated that the recent heinous crime of butchering SDO of Kasom Khullen and his associates in Ukhrul District of Manipur is a loathsome reminder of the inhuman massacre of innocent Kuki villagers by NSCN (IM)-led killers from 1992 to 1997. Even more deplorable than the murder was the attempt to implicate innocent Kukis for the inhuman crime by dumping the butchered remains near Taphou-Kuki,
a Kuki village, with the potent objective of igniting a communal flare-up between the Meiteis and the Kukis, given the existing ethno-communal sensitivities in Manipur, information and publicity secretary of KNO Lenin H Kuki said in a statement.
He said that the writings on the wall are clear and unmistakably traceable to the unrelenting inhuman killing machine, the NSCN (IM) even before they admitted to the crime. The GPRN’s press statements about three of its officials being responsible for the crime in their supposedly individual capacities is reminiscent of the NSCN (IM)’s initial denial of involvement in the genocide of innocent Kuki villagers by propping up something called the Nagalim Guards. These kinds of instigative activity are not new to the NSCN (IM) and it is the norm rather than an exception with them to deny involvement when their plots are unveiled.
Recalling an instance, Lenin said that in 1995 two Angami men from Khozuma village of Nagaland were persuaded by Tangkhuls to go and purchase buffalo from a Kuki village in Mani-pur. This was at a time when NSCN-IM was engaged in killing innocent Kuki villagers in great numbers. The Kuki villagers were unaware of the two men’s acti- vity. However, when the people of Khozuma realised the two men had not returned they assumed Kukis had killed them. Consequently, in 1995 the Angami Peoples Organisation (APO) served quit notice to the Kukis of Nagaland, the deadline being set for 25 July. At Delhi, on 24 July 1995, the Kuki Students Organisation went on a rally and presented a memorandum to the National Human Rights Commission, appealing for intervention. Fortunately, the intervention took place in the nick of time and the Angamis, realising foul play was involved, retracted the quit notice. The KNO therefore strongly condemns such evil designs of the outfit, which claims to have as its motto Nagaland for Christ, in equal measure as it condemns the brutal murder of the SDO of Kasom Khullen and his aides who were sincerely performing their duties as employees of the State Government. Rather than tendering apology to the Kukis and humanity at large for their abominable genocide of Kuki villagers in their effort to forcibly grab Kuki territories, the NSCN (IM) has attempted to create communal tensions and potential flare-up between the Kukis and Meiteis. It is time the world recognise the true colors of the outfit and give a befitting treatment to this unprincipled and inhuman organization, the statement added.
