UKHRUL: The NSCN/GPRN on Monday accused the Government of India of “double standards”, saying its call for peace and dialogue at international forums was at odds with its handling of the Naga political issue and the conflict in Manipur.
The group in a statement issued by its Ministry of Information and Publicity (MIP) from Oking, CHQ, Hebron referred to the recently concluded 18th BRICS Summit in New Delhi and the New Delhi Declaration 2026.

The NSCN/GPRN said the declaration called for the prevention of hostilities and peaceful resolution of disputes through dialogue, consultation and diplomacy. It, however, questioned the Centre’s approach towards the Naga issue.
The group said the Indo-Naga Framework Agreement, signed between the Government of India and the NSCN on August 3, 2015, has remained unimplemented.
It alleged that the Centre was choosing a military approach instead of pursuing what it called sincere and honest dialogue.
The NSCN/GPRN also made allegations against the Centre in connection with the ongoing conflict in Manipur.
It alleged that Kuki armed groups were being used as “proxy forces” against Naga communities and claimed that the KNA was receiving arms and logistical support from the Government of India.

The group further alleged that the Centre was collaborating with KNA(B) from Myanmar to destabilise the region.
The NSCN/GPRN said the Naga people had shown patience at the negotiating table since 1997, but warned that continued military suppression and what it described as proxy warfare could make it difficult for the Naga leadership to return to the negotiating table.
The group called on the Government of India to pursue genuine political dialogue and ended its statement with a call to “End colonialism in ALL its forms—including your own.”
