NSCN (IM) opposes RIIN
|
DIMAPUR, Oct 2 : The NSCN (IM) has expressed strong objection against the Registration of Indigenous Inhabitants of Nagaland (RIIN), reports NNN.
A joint council meeting of the NSCN (IM) held today also passed a resolution against the controversial Registration of Indigenous Inhabitants of Nagaland (RIIN).
The outfit said that RIIN violates the very meaning of indigenous peoples in the context of Naga Nation.
The outfit stated that RIIN dilutes the Naga meaning of indigenous "as RIIN comes with divisive venom to divide the Nagas, as instigated by the forces against the Naga Nation".
In a statement NSCN (IM) said Nagas as indigenous peoples have no class and no boundary.
It added that Nagas are one and Nagas are indigenous wherever they are in their God-given land, Nagalim.
"Therefore, the present form of RIIN classification based on artificial State boundaries is not acceptable to the Naga people, come what may, we shall resist," it asserted.
The joint council meeting adopted another resolution to resist the border fencing along the Indo-Myanmar international border and the scrapping of the Free Movement Regime (FMR).
This also violates the spirit of Indo-Naga political talks to find a peaceful Naga political solution, it stated.
NSCN (IM) shall not tolerate border fencing and “we shall do whatever is deemed fit to stop such aggression against the existence of Naga brotherhood as a Nation", it added.
