National Socialist Council of Nagalim or the NSCN (I-M) on Thursday terminated two members of its Steering Committee from the Naga National Service (Party and Government) with immediate effect for their “acts of depravity, violating breach of party discipline/Yehzabo and defection”.
A release by the Ministry of Information and Publicity of the outfit said that it is the bounden duty of the NSCN (I-M) to be on alert against the activities of any of its members that threatens the national interests. For the same reason, certain actions that were openly seen to abet anti-national activities are not condoned with.
NSCN (I-M) Steering Committee executive members, Vaison Vemai and VS Jonah Vemai were on the it’s radar for quite some time. Having learnt from various sources on their involvement in activities detrimental to the interest of the Naga nation and used by the Indian agencies, they were asked to be stationed at the Council Headquarters (CHq), Hebron. But for the reason best known to them they defied the instruction, the release stated.
This prompted the authorities to issue a summon letter to both of them to make themselves convenient to be stationed at the CHq and produce an explanation for their act of defiance. Much to the displeasure of the government, Vaison Vemai and Jonah Vemai dishonored the letter. They were, however, given the final opportunity to come out clean for deliberately defying the instructions for the third time consecutively.
Finally, instead of showing up at the CHq, they showed up at Khehoi designated camp, turning themselves as fugitives and under the veil of Naga unity for the uplift of the nation, the Naga outfit said.
“Failing to justify their position against various allegations, there is no iota of doubt that the two brothers are not clean. Working hand in gloves with the adversaries for personal benefits overlooking the Naga national interest is an act of treason. Deliberately abusing power for vested interest under the shadow of NSCN (I-M) is uncalled for,” it added.
The NSCN (I-M) said its government in the past had assigned Vaison Vemai in the religious wing at the highest level, but going by his treacherous and unbecoming activities he is no longer qualified to be a church and organization related activities. The two members in the past had been suspended and terminated a couple of times. Such rogue members would do nothing good other than create more problems.
“Therefore, any person who continues to work with the two anti-national brothers in any matters shall also be dealt with utmost seriousness. Further, they are given a week time to surrender all the government properties which are in their possessions. On account of failure to do the same, necessary actions shall be initiated,” it asserted.
NSCN (I-M) further said that it was unthinkable for both of them to display such a deceptive silence despite three calling letters. They failed to exhibit courage with their staggering hypocrisy and moral cowardice.
“They spare no effort to show disgraceful conduct and duplicity by deserting their mother organisation. They are, therefore, condemned for perfidy, unbridled profligacy and overweening arrogance,” it added.
