The Nagaland unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party has hit out at the National Socialist Council of Nagalim or NSCN (I-M), asserting that the extremist group cannot prevent it from speaking on the “Naga political problem”.
The problem pertains to the peace process between the Centre and two Naga extremist entities – one involving the NSCN (I-M) that declared a ceasefire in 1997 and the other involving the Naga National Political Groups, a conglomerate of seven other organisations.
On May 27, the NSCN (I-M) accused BJP Ministers of using “unparliamentary” and “intemperate language” over the Framework Agreement, Naga national flag, constitution and integration. The outfit also slammed Naga People’s Front MLA Kuzholuzo Nienu for saying the NSCN (I-M) should either “take it (Delhi’s settlement offer) or leave it”.
