The National Socialist Council of Nagaland Khaplang Yung Aung (NSCN-K-YA) wouldn't accept forcing Naga people to participate in the Myanmar political crisis, it stated on 21st March, 2024.
After the State Administration Council (SAC) stated that the People's Military Service Law had come into force, the lists of the people who have to do the military service have been collected, which NSCN-K/YA issued a protest and then it said the above.
" The statement of the current military service law doesn't impact on the Naga region and we demand the Naga people to reject the law. Forcing to serve in the military goes against the NSCN-K/YA's position not to get involved in the Myanmar politics. We can't accept forcing Naga people to take part in the Myanmar political crisis." the NSCN-K/YA stated.

The NSCN-K/YA would object what the Myanmar Tatmadaw was planning to change Naga people into human shields and if Naga people were forced to serve in the military, they could notify to the NSCN-K/YA, it said.
" We have maintained the policy of non-interference regarding Myanmar politics and the People's Defense Forces that were formed in Naga region in the beginning of the current conflict have not been politically recognized and they have no rights to control territories in the Naga region, which NSCN has announced." said NSCN-K/YA.
Moreover, it said that it have let the Tatmadaw know to abstain from matters that could harm the Naga region.

There are many Naga armed groups in the the Naga Self-Administered Zone and they are the NSCN-K/YA, the Naga Socialist Council of Nagaand Khapland Ang Mai (NSCN-K/AM), the Naga Socialist Council of Nagaland Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM), the Eastern Naga National Organization/Eastern Naga Defense Army (ENNO/ENDA), and the Naga People's Defense Force (NPDF).
Representatives from the Northwestern Command of the Tatmadaw met and discussed with those from the NSCN-K/YA and the NSCN-K/AM in February 2024 in relation to the formation of militia within the Naga region.
Because the Myanmar Tatmadaw overthrew the NLD government and took the State power on 1st February 2021, saying the NLD was trying to form a government without solving the vote list dispute that took place in the 2020 general election, armed conflicts have been breaking out across the country.
And then, the Tatmadaw has lost control of towns and military camps and is summoning recruits after approving the People's Military Service Law to reinforce the Tatmadaw.
