Centre trying to divide Nagas: Isak Chisi

Although the Centre has opted for a negotiated settlement to solve the Naga issue, it is primarily working to divide the population on communal lines, NSCN (I-M) Chairman Isak Chisi has alleged, reports PTI. The Centre’s “tactical policy” on the whole issue had not been changed, Chisi told a two-day party meeting at its headquarters ‘Camp Hebron’, near Dimapur yesterday. “Their ambition is to divide the Nagas on communal lines using selfish individuals as their tools,” he said. The Chairman, however, said that NSCN(I-M) was committed to live in peace and harmony and fight along with other struggling groups in the region against the “common enemy”.

Referring to the recent reports of abuse of power by some members, he regretted that indiscipline, selfishness and immorality of a section of NSCN(I-M) members were eroding the strength of the organisation and called for a deep introspection. According to a release issued by Information and Publicity wing of NSCN (I-M), the Chairman asked the members “Have you not abused the power and authority granted on you by heaven and the people of Nagalim? “Why not look deep within you and acknowledge the presence of subtle hatred, envy, selfishness, arrogance and avarice against your co-workers, not to mention the same against the civilian population,” he said.
