North-Eastern Sister States- An Accord of Glorious Diplomatic Game of Uncertainty.

The North Eastern Sister states of India,who vote for the General Election of India, are Assam,Tripura,Arunachal Pradesh,Meghalaya,Mizoram,Nagaland and Manipur.Thus they are integral Parts of India.These are sometimes being called Seven sisters State. Recently in the month of June 2015 these North - Eastern states all of a sudden became a topic of attraction by the People and Media of India. The NSCN-K( National Socialist Council of Nagaland- Khalpang) terrorists ambushed Manipur killing 18 Indian Soldiers on 6th of June 2015 crossed the border back into Myanmar and hid in 2 camps there Indian Army Intelligence traced the terrorist's organizations in a massive hunt that followed the Ambush. The Army found out that more attacks were planned fromMyanmar Camps. Drones were sent deep in Myanmar Camps. One camp was located east of Nagaland and another east of Manipur,approximately 150 KM south.both well inside Myanmar Once the Drones located the camps,Indian Army Top leadership sought operational clearance from PMOINDIA(involved border crossing).The PMO was quick in providing the clearance. Planes carrying Indian special forces silently crossed into Myanmar after informing Government of India. It was not a joint operation with Myanmar Army,intelligence or Government.All special commandos were dropped strategically. Indian Special Forces eliminated at least 20 NSCN- K terrorists in the two camps inside Myanmar.Best of all there was zero casualty for India which has to be viewed as a splendid achievement in a hostile Foreign Territory. The Indian Army announced the success of this hot pursuit inside Myanmar only after every single Indian Special Forces Commando reached home safely. The Government of India has lived up it's promise of providing a free hand to the Army when it comes to National Security.Not only it was a warning to China,against encouraging Terrorism in the North East,it is also a stern Message to Pakistan which has already been warned earlier against any Misadventure in J&K.Ajit Doval has categorically stated that any mischief by Pakistan in Indian Territory and it will end up losing Balochistan. This also ensure to serve as a lesson for the anti- AFSPA ACTIVISTS RUNNING THEIR HUMAN RIGHTS SHOPS at the behest of foreign powers that their propaganda is going to crack Now almost after two months, at a time when confusion,intrigue,hatred,tension and dissension over the Politica arena prevail over the nation ,an accord/Pact appears to have been signed between India and the Insurgent Group of Nagaland,The National Socialistic Council of Nagaland I-M( NSCN- IM).The issue is likely to raise a lot of tempers amd dissatisfaction within the Political arena of India as the pact/ Accord is understood to have been signed as a matter of secrecy without taking into confidence the public and even the Paliamentarians.This is what has been reported in the Media.The president of India is the Constitutional Head of the Nation who is to be informed about any event affecting the affairs of the states.Whether this was done prior to the signing of the accord,the time could tell. The President is the Titular head of the State and enjoys enormous Powers under the Constitution of India such as Executive,Legislative,Military,Diplomatic,Judicial,and Emergency Powers including Financial Emergency Powers.The Financial Emergency powers have never been used until now. The President is the Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces . Hece, it would appear binding on the part of the Government to inform the President about any development relating to the affairs of the State well on time . In this case of pact/ Accord with Insurgent Group it is reported in the Media that just 4 people knew about the terms and conditions of the Accord.They were the Hon.Prime Minister,Home minister,The National Security Adviser,the Insurgent outfit leader T.Muivah and Government's interlocutor RN Ravi. Later on the Primeminister claimed the Accord was "not merely the end of a Problem but the beginning of a new future The Accord came into existence almost 2 months after 18 Indian soldiers were killed in Ambush carried out by Naga Militants in the Chandel District of Manipur.Following this ,India carried outMilitary operation from within Myanmar about which it has been explained in the beginning of this Blog. The present situation is that while India is anticipating a new future ,there is another faction called NSCN( K)led by SS Khaplang ,a Burmese Naga outfit,who has chosen a hard line against the Central Government. This Khaplang faction Operating out of the Border region of the Nagaland and Myanmar Is understood to have brought together various Militant groups including the Paresh Barua-led ULFA Faction,Kangleipak communistparty(KCP),National Democratic Front of Bodoland( NDFB),Peoples Revolutionary Party of Kangleipak(PREPAK),Peoples Liberation Army(PLA), United National Liberation Front( UNLF)and Kanglei Yawol Kunna Lup( KYKL)To join hands to fight Indian State. The Group professes to create Western South East Asia( WESEA)as a larger separate Stateand comprising of all the Regions of NorthEast. The peculiarity of the pact/ Accord is that the neighboring States of Assam,Manipur and Arunachal Pradesh have neither been consulted nor taken into confidence according to Media reports.The CMs of the three states are stated To be opposed to integration of Naga- inhabited Areas and are not ready to be deprived of an inch of their territorial areas.Thus, uncertainty looms over the pact and unless the contents of the Accord is made known . Thus,it is not yet clear whether the Government is skating on thin ice or whether there is any sound basis for the confidence expressed by the Prime minister that the accord is the beginning of a new future. Although it would appear to be there is hope on the Horizon but whether this hope Will translate itself into reality is yet unknown. In a nutshell the entire issue,like Cricket ,would appear to be a Glorious Diplomatic Game of Uncertainty. Sreedharan Mundanat 23rd August 2015
