The National Socialist Council of Nagaland- Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM) on October 27 blamed the Union government for the recent fratricidal killings in the state, reports Telegraph. The outfit’s information and publicity ministry said that such killings that had put “Nagalim’s peace at stake” was the failure of the Indian security forces to restrain the cadres of the rival Khaplang faction (NSCN-K) from moving around with criminal intentions and agendas. The NSCN-IM warned of a showdown in the near future if New Delhi fails to control the NSCN-K activities. A communiqué by the outfit said, “The NSCN-IM’s blunt message to the government of India is to stop the Khaplang group from any anti-peace activities and anti-NSCN activities. The present scenario gives clear indications that the government of India has failed again to show its face of sincerity and commitment by feigning ignorance that appears to be more pretentious than anything else.” Read less...
