The NSCN-IM leader also said that the agreement symbolically acknowledged the existence of “Naga nation” as testified by the recognition of the unique history of the Nagas by the Centre on July 11, 2002 during peace talks held in Amsterdam.Meanwhile, talking about a working system between the NSCN-IM and the Working Committee of the NNPGs to find a common ground for Naga political solution, Tuccu said for his group to work with the NNPGs would be a dangerous proposition as the latter propagates Naga political solution under the Constitution of India.“Moreover, they are not the master of their own. Government of India agency holds the reins,” Tuccu said. He further stated that as the torchbearer of the Naga political movement, the NSCN-IM would never take the risk by working with the very groups which “compromised” the historical and political identity of the Nagas by failing to defend the sanctity of the uniqueness of the Naga history and political situation during their negotiations with the government of India. “…The NSCN cannot imagine working with such groups which have no respect for the rights of the Naga nation. Their integrity is no longer compatible with political interests and security of the Nagas,” Tuccu said, adding, “…the NNPGs signed the copycat of Framework Agreement under the deceitful name Agreed Position.”
