The NSCN-IM has voiced its opposition to the scrapping of the Free movement Regime with Myanmar.
In a statement the NSCN-IM said that the recent move of the Government of India to abolish “the time honored FMR has come as a rude shock” to the NSCN in particular and to Nagas in general.
The NSCN-IM said, “The Naga political movement came into existence with the avowed stand to defend the historical and political rights of the Naga nation… The recent move of the government of India to abolish the time honored Free Movement Regime (FMR) has come as a rude shock to the NSCN in particular and to the whole Nagas in general.”
The NSCN-IM added that the Nagas have never accepted the arbitrary international boundary demarcation and have remained as one family defying all the odds.
“It reminds us of the treacherous division of the Nagas by the Prime Minister of India Jawaharlal Nehru and the Burmese Prime Minister U Nu in 1953. However, the fact remains that the Nagas have never accepted the arbitrary international boundary demarcation set up by these two Prime Ministers and
“As one family Nagas needs free movement from both sides. Ironically, the nature of the boundary demarcation was so cruel that it runs right through the house of Longwa King in Mon district. Nothing can be crueler than this while dividing the Naga family,” said NSCN-IM.
On the issue of illegal immigrants, the NSCN-IM said that the Nagas themselves would control any illegal immigrant in their soil and will not allow any illegal immigrants in the territory.
It said that it is totally against boundary fencing that allegedly violates the rights of the Nagas to live as one family.
