Nagaland Post reports that Myanmar Government has declared that it would
even go up
to the extent
of scrapping
its cease-fire
deal with
Nationalist
Socialist
Council of
Nagaland-Khaplang
(NSCN-K)
if the latter
was found
violating
its ceasefire
agreement
by sheltering
other Indian
insurgent
groups in
the Naga autonomous
region, Myanmar. Even
though NSCN-K
enjoys the
benefit (cease-fire)
of moving
about freely
in its region,
the declaration
which was
made by a
nine member
Myanmarese
team at a
meeting with
senior officials
Government
of India officials
led by joint
secretary
(NE) Ministry
of Home Affairs
(MHA), Shambhu
Singh in Kolkata
(West Bengal)
on the June
26 and 27
has posed
as a set back
to the peace
pact. It
was also reported
that the Indian
delegation
expressed
displeasure
over the Myanmarese
Government
having signed
the cease-fire
pact with
NSCN-K signatory
Wanting Naga,
an Indian
origin Naga.
The Myanmarese
delegation
accepted that
it had overlooked
on this issue
and assured
to verify
the antecedents
and nationality
of every cadre
or leader
belonging
to any Indian
insurgent
groups that
they deal
with. The
delegation
further assured
MHA that they
would soon
introduce
some “foolproof
mechanism”
to check whether
cadres and
leaders staying
in NSCN-K’s
camp are actually
of that group.
Myanmar reportedly agreed to share intelligence and interrogation reports of every
insurgent
or miscreants
of Indian
origin caught
in Myanmar with drugs or arms. |
