Kohima: The GPRN/NSCN leadership has issued a directive warning to all its members against involvement in the forthcoming general elections.
A Ministry of Information and Publicity (MIP) communiqué issued from camp GPRN/NSCN (Khole-Kitovi) and urged all members of the GPRN/NSCN to ‘retrospect on the ideology of the government and to our callings’.
Asking members to remember that ‘we are not a part of India or under its constitution’, but ‘a Nation fighting for our independence and sovereign rights’, the release said, ‘we cannot betray our rights by participating in the Indian elections.’ It informed all rank and file of the GPRN/NSCN that the directive not to take part in the coming state elections in any manner had come from the desks of the president Gen (Retd) Khole Konyak and general secretary N Kitovi Jimomi. ‘Stern disciplinary actions will be taken upon those members marring the image of the government by misusing their good offices,’ it also warned.
It further instructed all Unit Commanding officers and Regional Authorities to strictly comply with the directive and to implement it. (UNI)
