Taking a dig at Nagaland Governor and Naga Accord interlocutor RN Ravi, the National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM) said it did not extort people but levied genuine taxes on them. The NSCN-IM’s statement comes in the backdrop of a letter written by the Governor to Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio on June 16, slamming the state machinery over its failure to address growing concerns about the state’s law and order, which he claimed had “collapsed”. Ravi said that the state government was being challenged on a daily basis by “armed gangs that question the sovereignty and integrity of the nation.”
The NSCN-IM, on the other hand, seems convinced that the Governor was “not the right person to solve the long-standing Indo-Naga problem” if he considered the Naga issue as a ‘law and order’ problem
