NSCN (IM) to cease dialogue with ACAUT

Joint Council of the NSCN (I-M) at its meeting at CHQ Hebron on May 23, resolved to cease engagement of dialogue with the ‘banned ACAUT with immediate effect”.
Stating this, MIP said the resolution was adopted by the house after serious deliberation on the “ treacherous activities of the banned ACAUT” and its implication on the Naga political issue and struggle and concluded that ACAUT “ has already politicised the taxation issue” to achieve “ its nefarious design” in undermining the Naga political stand”.
It accused ACAUT of being “guided by their own narrow personal whims, in total negation of the Naga people’s aspiration that has lasted beyond unquestionable length of time.”
Despite the ban, MIP said its government on humanitarian ground, made efforts in meeting ACAUT on several occasions but the latter “chose not to listen”. 
Accusing ACAUT of going to extreme with the deliberate intention of “misleading the Naga public” in the name of ‘One tax,One government’ that lacked transparency or courage to declare the right from the wrong”, MIP asked, whom were ACAUT trying to legitimise?
MIP said the house took serious note of ACAUT’s directive on May 2, not to pay “ Naga peoples committed tax to the national cause including the house tax” as it legitimised “the people’s movement”. It said this exposed ACAUT’s “sinister design” and lack of political maturity and clear antagonism against “ the sacred cause of the Nagas”. 
It said the after house concluded that ACAUT was “behaving as if they are above the national principle and above the Naga nation” it resolved to cease further dialogues. 
MIP said the house reaffirmed its endeavour to uphold the “sacred trust which the Naga nation entrusted upon us, to oppose any form of illegal taxation by groups or peoples, who claim to be representing the Naga people”.
