Kohima: The NSCN has slammed the Indian government for hypocrisy. The group claims New Delhi champions global peace while fueling conflict at home. The Ministry of Information and Publicity issued a stinging rebuke from Oking, CHQ, Hebron. They targeted the government for its conduct during the 18th BRICS Summit in New Delhi.
The New Delhi Declaration 2026 demands peaceful dispute resolution. It calls for dialogue and an end to hostilities. The NSCN argues these promises mean nothing to the Naga people. They point to the Indo-Naga Framework Agreement signed on August 3, 2015. Eleven years have passed. The agreement remains frozen. The government chose a military solution over honest talk.
The group also fired accusations regarding the ongoing violence in Manipur. They claim state authorities use nomadic Kuki armed groups as proxy forces to target Naga communities. The allegations are specific. They claim the government provides arms and logistics to the KNA. They further allege the state works with KNA(B) across the Myanmar border to destabilize the region. This fuels ethnic warfare, the group says.
Naga leaders have participated in negotiations since 1997. Their patience is wearing thin. Military suppression and proxy warfare now threaten the entire process. Leadership warned that these tactics make it difficult to return to the table. The statement was blunt. "Peaceful dialogue requires two honest parties," the group said. They finished with a final demand: "End colonialism in ALL its forms—including your own."

The group’s critique of the New Delhi Declaration 2026 goes beyond general rhetoric. They pointed to paragraphs 11 and 12, which highlight democratic global governance and sovereign equality. They also cited paragraphs 23, 37, and 40, which focus on addressing the root causes of civil unrest.
Regarding the 2015 Framework Agreement, the NSCN (I-M) asserts that the document specifically recognizes the unique history, sovereign rights, and legitimate political identity of the Naga people. They further characterized the government’s tactics in Manipur as the use of Kuki narco-terror groups to launch military aggression, accusing the state of abandoning genuine peace for deceptive global rhetoric.

The group’s assault on the New Delhi Declaration 2026 goes deeper than broad criticisms. They highlighted paragraphs 11 and 12, which pledge support for democratic global governance and sovereign equality. They also cited paragraphs 23, 37, and 40, which mandate the prevention of hostilities and demand that states address the root causes of civil unrest rather than relying on force.
Beyond the stalled 2015 agreement, the group slammed New Delhi for failing its constitutional responsibility to protect Naga security. They argued that the state has abandoned the non-violence principles historically preached by Indian leaders, opting instead for a pattern of institutional hypocrisy that masks the suppression of indigenous communities.
