NSCN-IM speaks out on Ningshen handover

Dimapur, June 2 (MExN): The NSCN (IM) today said its decision to hand over HK Ningshen the accused in the murder of SDO Dr. Kishan and two others, took ‘tremendous courage.’ The action of the NSCN (IM) to hand over the accused to
the Naga Hoho (who later handed him over to the CBI) on May 28 is unprecedented in the history of the Naga struggle, a note from the MIP said.

“It took tremendous courage for the NSCN leaders to take such an agonizing decision” a note from the ‘MIP’ stated. “Though the impasse between the GOI and the NSCN continued over the killing of Dr. Th. Kishan and the NSCN was prepared to face any new situation that unfold out of this incident, it was eventually the Naga Hoho that intervened,” the NSCN (IM) stated. The MIP said “full trust and confidence of the NSCN made it all possible” to hand over Ningshen to the Naga Hoho.

It also reaffirmed the commitment made by the group’s collective leadership to the then Indian Prime Minister late PV Narashimha Rao in Paris in 1995. “NSCN will leave no stone unturned to find an amicable solution…NSCN will not allow any obstacles that comes in the way of peaceful negotiated settlement” it stated. Condemning the murder of Dr. Kishan and his two staffers “committed by Lt.Col.HK.Ningshen”, the NSCN (IM) said it is a crime against humanity and “crime against the principle of NSCN as well”.
