Former CNF president, No Than Kap, responded to CNF

Let the People Know (Response to "The People Want to Know") From: John KKThang (alias) NTK Ex-President of CNF (N.B. Response can be seen at the end of each question or accusation. No 1- 4 have to do with others and so omitted) Subject: The People Want to Know By: One of CNF leaders (unnamed man/men) 1. XXX  2.XXX 3.XXXX 4. XXX 5)     The people want to know the hidden dark histories of the CNF (from 1988-1992) rather than how the Chin people should "DECIDE" whether to terminate the CNF/A. What the people want to know about today is whether removal of Pu No Thang Kap was something to do with murdering Pu Zam Ai Singh and over 20 innocent Chin people brutally and cruelly. The Chin people also want to know "who signed the death sentence letter" for Pu Zam Ai Singh and "how it was written", "who has that death sentence letter". Response: First of all, to reverse the question, who are the people that this writer refers to and what does he mean by hidden dark history of CNF (1988-1992)? There was nothing to hide and no one including the former President Pu NTK has no intention at all to hide any thing. About Major Zam Ai Sing and his death, the hypocrites who shed crocodile tears for him should know that ZAS was one of the closest friends of Pu NTK. He joined CNF in 1989 because of Pu NTK. Their relationship is much deeper than any of the present CNF leaders who (most of them) didn't even know or see him in person. It was Pu NTK who conferred Major rank to ZAS. ZAS was not murdered. Rather he lost his life at the Indo-Burman border when he deserted CNA and took some of CNA cadres from Champhai CNA camp without the consent of the then Champhai camp commander Anthony, Defense Secretary Col. Tlung Luai, and C-in-C NTK. He said CNA was not having arms and doesn't want to be in it anymore. The main reason why CNA pursued him was because he took several young CNA cadres together with him from Champhai camp. When CNA who pursued them asked him to come back he refused and lost his life.  Neither Pu NTK nor any other higher authorities wrote any death sentence letter. As in almost all revolutionary groups, the deaths of CNA in the camp or jungle were not necessarily due to the direct order of the C-n-C of CNA. For instance, when one of the founding members of CNF Pu Roenga was killed by CNA at Bangladesh when he attempted to flee, the news of his death came to the knowledge of Pu NTK only after two weeks. Its not necessary to mention here who issued that order. Also when a CNA from Hmawngkawn, Falam fled the CNA GHQ, he was pursued by other CNA and killed him near Bungtlang. Pu NTK didn't order that killing. He came to learn about it months later.   6)      The people want to know the way in which Pu No Thang Kap era CNF operated like a "Mafia Gang" in the all time greatest "The God Fathers Movie". The people want to know whether he knows the truth, or many not know the truth because he was just a "Private" soldier in CNA. The people want to know whether he knows or not knows how many people were kidnapped, robbed, raped, tortured, and so forth. The people want to know whether he knows what amount of money was deposited to "State Bank of India: and "The Apex Bank" in Champhai and who got all that money after No Thang Kap was expelled from the CNF in 1992? Response: The answer to the first question can be found in response No. 5. But to add more, Pu NTK could not know all that CNA did in various places during his time, mainly because at that time there was no proper R/T and W/T equipments for communication to update him by his subordinates and also because that was the time CNF tried to make new contacts and alliances from all parts of the world, especially in surrounding areas and tried to internationalize its cause. He was so engaged in external affairs and kept on traveling out of the country that he could not know what was going on inside the party and the army. Only when he was updated by the Vice President and GS and Defense Secretary, he came to know certain important things that he should know and certain things already took place before he came to know about them. It was the duty of the GS to look after the party and Def. Secretary to look after the army during his absence. So how could he know how many people were kidnapped, robbed, raped, tortured, and so forth by CNA or its imposters. For instance, he didn't know when Pu Roger left Kachin area and where did he go inside the country (Pu Roger was sent together with Anthony to KIA area to look after the CNA there). He learnt about it only when KIO chairman Brangseng told him through the telephone that they have lost Pu Roger. Likewise, he came to know about the death of his nephew Duh Tin Kheng in Kachin area only after Pu Roger told him thru telephone. Who was responsible for the death or killing of Duh Tin Kheng? Who was in charge of the CNA in Kachin area at time? Can we say that the person in charge was responsible? Its up to the one who wrote this question to decide. Pu NTK have no knowledge of CNF/CNA depositing money in State Bank and Apex Bank in Champhai. What he and other leaders know is the money deposited in Vijay Bank, Aizawl. Joint account was opened in that bank in the names of Pu Roenga (L) and Pu NiLiLian. Unfortunately Roenga died before all the money was drawn from that bank.   7)      The people want to know that why Pu No Thang Kap ordered "Major (name withheld for security reasons) of CNA and Assam Rifle Troop" to ambush and kill all "Mr. (name withheld for security reasons) of CNA and Naga Friends". Major (?) and Mr. (?) were both CNF/A members. The people want to know why Pu No Thang Kap tried to kill his soldier by using his own soldiers? Response: During Pu NTK's time, there was only one joint operation with Naga friends.  This operation was highly confidencial. The aim of that operation was to get arms from the Naga friends in return for escorting them in the border areas. The whole operation or military game was played so perfectly and successfully by Pu NTK that no Naga soldier, no CNA and no Indian soldier was killed in that operation. The Nagas led by Maj. Mark reached Nagaland safely and arms were delivered to CNA (after Pu NTK left CNF).  In final analysis, that operation was a success. If a revolutionary leader could not play such game he doesn't fit to be a leader of a young and emerging force like CNF/CNA. Pu NTK could play and now CNF is what it is because of him. It is enough to say that a nationalist revolutionary leader like him will never do things at the expense of his army or commanders.   8)      The people want to know how many sincere, humble, business-oriented and family-caring Zomi Business men were kidnapped with "Gun Point", under Mr. No Thang Kap's orders and how much money No Thang Kap earned? The people want to know how those rich innocent business oriented Zomi people were accused with fabricated facts and who will be responsible for repayment of Millions of Rupees? The People want to know that were these matters one of the reasons No Thang Kap was expelled from CNF? Response: One wonders why this question is asked? What is the motive behind asking such questions when every sensible person who knows Pu NTK knows very well that  a man like him would never issue any order that could hurt the interest of his own people. Also, Pu NTK was never expelled from CNF. That expulsion letter was drafted by the present leaders after he left the party of his own accord to vindicate their dirty action in attempting to kill and overthrow him.   9)      The people also want to know how much amount of money Naga people (NSCN) had given to the CNF, in order for the CNF to help them to transport their military equipments from Bangladesh to Nagaland. Because, the people want to know that because of such dirty politics, there were many good peoples lives, houses, domestic stocks etc were lost and who will responsible for all those losses? Response: If one says it was a dirty politics, then Pu NTK has nothing to add. But to him there is no dirty or clean politics. It depends on the one who interprets it. You may say that you are playing a clean politics for your people, but for others it can still be a very dirty politics. Pu NTK also believes that there is no permanent friend or foe in politics but permanent national interest. If you say that Pu NTK played a dirty politics because he made friendship with the Nagas when CNA was badly in need of arms and financial help and when there was no other reliable sources at that time to procure arms, then you have to say that almost all the leaders who build the nations of the world are players of dirty politics. About the money given by the Nagas, Pu Roger, Pu Anthony and Pu Sui Khar and others know it very well (sorry to mention their names). Also, how that money was spent was not a secret inside the cabinet. Pu NTK wants to tell you one thing, don't be too naïve and immature and inquisitive. Don't try to bring out things just for the sake of discrediting the people you are against (like Pu NTK).   10)  The people want to know how much money CNF received from India Government (1988-1992) and how much money were actually spent for CNF and how much money goes to Pu No Thang Kap's pocket. The people also want to know why the CNF Finance Secretary was never audited by the CNF from 1988 to 1992. Response: No money from the government of India which was meant for CNF goes to Pu NTK's pocket. If you really want to know how much money was handed over to the CNF, you may ask Brig. T. Sailo of Mizoram and his party leaders. All the money came thru him. You may (if you are a CNF official) ask them to give the balance which is still in their hands. About the Finance Secretary, if you were in CNF during 1988 to 1992, then why didn't you raise this same question at the cabinet meeting or ask Pu NTK? And is you were not in CNF at that time you can ask the ex-cabinet ministers like Pu Roger, Pu Sui Khar, etc.   11)  The people want to know how Pu No Thang Kap reacted when General Secretary of CNF disagreed with him on party meeting in September 1992? The people want to know how many bullets Pu No Thang Kap shot to the air (actually top of the hut) in the early morning, created panic in the camp, by showing his Mafia style behavior to threaten all CNF leaders, sending a clear and short message "If you disagree with me, this is who I am?" Response: My son, why do you belittle yourself by asking such childish questions. About shooting guns in the air, it might be that Pu NTK enjoyed shooting guns in the air early in the morning!!  Also, the gods there at that time might have warned him in his dream that there were traitors lurking around him. Or, he might have a bad dream!!   12)  The people want to know why Pu No Thang Kap yelled to the Vice President, General Secretary, and Foreign Secretary on the same event, because No Thang Kap did not have a patience to bear the noise make by the soldiers while they practice military skills, in the early morning and ordered them to keep quiet whenever he is in the camp because he can not sleep well. Response: You should have prayed for him to be patient and to sleep well.   13)  The people want to know why Pu No Thang Kap screamed again to the Vice President, General Secretary, and Foreign Secretary after firing many rounds of his gun to the air saying that "What the hell is going on in this camp? Why you guys sing the Hymns in Hakha language? Why you guys worship in Hakha Language?" Because, the people want to know who has been igniting Hakha-Falam hatred since 1988. Response: Pu NTK and even the spirits and gods there didn't know and hear him mentioning such foolish words. On the contrary, he is the one who accepted the Hakhas, etc., without any question even when other tribes and friends told him again and again in 1988-1991 that the Hakhas might create problem inside the army and party because they are generally extreme communalists.  Pu NTK should have listened to their good advices because very soon their warnings came too. So why don't you ask like this, "Why did Pu NTK appoint  Pu Sang Hlun  V.President, Pu Roger Foreign Secretary, Pu Sui Khar Intelligence Chief, etc, and conferred Pu Zing Cung Major, Pu That Ci Leutenant, etc?" You may also ask like this, "Why did Pu NTK always try to make peace between the GS (Matu) and the V.President (HK),  who were always at loggerheads and looked down at one another because they were from different tribes?" Finally, if you think Pu NTK is igniting Hakha-Falam hatred since 1988 its clear that you really don't know him.   14)  The people want to know who is steering Falam Humhal Pawl from behind to take political opportunity in transition and accusing every problem to CNF. His fabricated accusations to CNF are 1) there are many people in jail because of CNF; 2) Many villages has been relocated because of CNF; 3) CNF collected Taxes from Falam Area with Gun Point; and 4) CNF was responsible for closing Rih-Falam road. Response: Its not Falam Humhal Pawl but Falam Humhualtu Pawlpi (FHP). Here, you are sincerely advised to see the real problem inside Chinland and Falam area and the Falam people in particular and stop making a scapegoat to avoid the problem that is looming over all of us. Try to see and solve that problem without any prejudice.   15)  The people know that truth according to information can be obtained from Association of Political Prisoners in Burma ; there is no one from Falam area in Jail because of CNF. The people know the truth that it has nothing to do with CNF. The fact is that the master brain of FHP knows that if there are 50,000 populations in certain areas, according to potential new constitution, there will be one constituency for MP so that he maneuvered some Falam people to migrate to Kalaymyo so that when next election is hold, he may become an MP from that constituency. The people know the fact that, massive migration from Falam Township to Kalaymoy area caused certain troubles among Mizos and Falams in last year. The people know fact that Zahau Tlang leaders often visited to CNF Chairman from time to time and working together to achieve the interests of the Chin people and CNF also provided certain humanitarian assistance under the Cross Border Assistance Program in the past years. The people know that fact that CNF has nothing to do with closing or less usage of Rih-Falam road because the travelers know the fact that Haimual Tiddim Road is better than Rih-Falam road in terms of saving Time, Resources, facilities, and others. Response: Again, you are shooting the wrong bird and are refusing to see things as they are.   16)  The people know that fact that a person who is navigating Falam Humhal Pawl was the person who created misunderstanding among the Chin people over which language to be used in Myanmar Broadcasting Service. After learning the fact that there are potential second Chin language to be used in MBS, he took that card and persuaded the K'cho to support him to against Hakha's influence. The people know that fact that he has accesses to high ranking SPDC officials in Yagoon, including Home Minister and certain other ministers. Response: Its seems you are giving A+ to that unnamed man. Also, if the people know that fact, why did you write in the headline here that, "The People Want to Know." You are contradicting yourself.   17)  The people know that fact that a person who is navigating Falam Humhal Pawl conducted many closed-door meetings in USA and persuaded the people to provide him certain amount of dollars so that he can fight or counter the CNF. Again, the people know that fact that when he learnt that there are indications of Peace Talk between CNF and SPDC, he afraid that the talk will took place in Hakha and Hakha might become official capital city of Chinland and Lai language could also become a language to be used in MBS. So, he gears up all his dirty ideas to disrupt, agitate, mess-up with the whole Chin revolution. The truth is that, the Chin people know enough about how much he has caused to the unity of the Chin people. The truth is that CNF wants to restore the Chin National Interests and does not have interest on which city or language to be used for the capital of Chinland and in MBS. Response: It seems that you are too occupied with what Pu NTK was and is doing, thereby missing the mark. Again  you are contradicting yourself/selves by saying that the People know that fact, etc., How Pu NTK wants you to be at the Church services where he preached about the importance of loving one another and having forgiving spirit!! About Talks with SPDC, Capital, etc., you better talk with other Falam leaders and find out what is in their mind.  18. There are many more untold real stories about CNF and the people want to know the truth. This letter has nothing to do with CNF leaders or Members of Followers or Supporters but this is everything to do with the whole Chin people. Response:  If there are many more untold real stories about CNF why don't you tell not only the Chin people but the world so that all can know what you are telling is the truth or half-truth or twisted facts or just suppositions. Or just another attempt to defame and discredit someone. 19. The main person who has been playing behind all these dirty yet nasty politic among the Chin people is the person who created Hakha-Falam hatred in 1992 to sidetrack his sins. Many victims will try to seek the justice. He will face all the crimes he has committed from 1988 to 1992. It is, therefore, the best way to stay away from the real criminal who speaks smoothly and foul nicely a lot of people in the name of "God, Religion, Christianity, Chin Nationalism" for his personal eternal benefits. Response:  Its clear you are referring to Pu NTK. Pu NTK wants you to collect all data about what you said is criminal acts, such as killing, robbing etc during his time (ie, 1988-1992). He and his sympathizer and the Chin people will (some have started) to collect facts about the atrocities you have committed against the people since 1993. Pu NTK dares enough and is ready to face any judgment by any court, even international court of justice for his so-called wrong doings. As a true leader, even for the wrong doings of his subordinates when he was the head of CNF, he is ready to face the judgment of the court. And he trust that you too are brave enough to face the same fate for what you have committed against the innocent people. Let the time come when you and he face the consequences of what you have done. NOTE: Pu NTK gives thanks to you for bringing out the above questions. It really enlightens his understanding of other Chin brothers. He advises you to be honest and brave enough to mention your full name and true identity when you write this kind of letter the next time because he thinks unnamed man looks like ghost and he is terribly scared of ghosts ever since he was shot at by misguided youths who were sent by (may be ghosts) to murder him. Finally, since you seem to know much about past and present CNF history, why don't you tell Pu NTK the man/men who sent assassins to kill him at his house while he was with his newly wed loving wife Pi Sui Hlawn Thluai (a niece of Thomas Thangno, Chairman of CNF) and family, welcoming the same killers who shot at him two times at point blank. Note what Pu NTK uttered right after he recovered from his unconsciousness, "I forgive these youths who tried to kill me!" But you still call him a murderer, etc. Continue to call him as you wish. Time will tell who really is who.
