NSCN (IM) responds to Rahul Gandhi

Dimapur, April 4 (MExN): The NSCN (IM) notes the Manipur Congress’ raising the territorial integrity issue now that elections are here. The ‘MIP’ today cautioned that ‘election poll plank’ should not be mixed with the “ground reality of the Indo-Naga political issue”. “Anything under the sky will be exploited to the hilt during the election”, the MIP note said.

“This time round it is already seen that Congress campaigner Rahul Gandhi, sent from Delhi is making an emotive issue of Manipur’s territorial integrity,” it stated. In the backdrop of Rahul’s campaign in Manipur, the NSCN (IM) expressed “interest” to “get some comments from the Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee on the Congress high command’s statement that Nagas and their land will not be allowed to live together”.

Because the NPCC has also been talking about pushing forward the Indo-Naga political talks for the earliest solution, the note explained. “What Naga political solution is the NPCC talking about when their leaders are shouting at the roof top that N.E boundaries will not be changed? There is no beating about the bush. Either the NPCC contradict their high command’s statement or they have another interpretation” the note added.
