Dimapur, September 8 (MExN): The FGN is marking September 6 as the day on which the group entered into a ceasefire agreement with the Indian government day and also, interestingly a day this year when an FGN camp was allegedly razed by the 7th Assam Rifles in Phek. A note from the FGN said that on September 6, 1964, “we agreed upon the pact of ceasefire between both the parties” at ‘Happy Camp’ established in 1962 at Ketsapo village in Phek District.
According to the note, appended as “ministry of rali wali Federal Government of Nagaland”, it was on the September 6, 2011, when ‘Naga Peace Centre’ and NNC/FGN were observing the Indo-Naga Ceasefire Day “when we got the unfortunate news that the Happy Camp of NNC/FGN at Ketsapo Village was burnt down to ashes by the 7th Assam Rifle.” The ‘seemingly friends of the hill people became a monster to the Nagas once again,’ the FGN note said.
“This shameful act of 7th Assam Rifle is nothing less than a barbaric challenge to the peace and reconciliation movement of the Naga national political groups. The guardian of law and order as they say have turned out to be the fountain-head of emitting hatred and animosity among the peace loving Nagas,” the FGN said.
The FGN posed a number of queries: “We will not be restrained to ask the 7th Assam Rifles though we presume that they may not have learnt to read the written language: What has bothered you so much so as to destroy and burn down the Happy Camp? Is that your way of befriending other people? Has not the Government of India provided furniture that on this Peace Day you went to loot even the furniture’s that belong to the Church?”
Questioning the security force “how low can you stoop to disgrace the civilized world,” the FGN said it is time that “you remove and tear down your slogan ‘friends of the hill people’ and put on your real mask of terrorizing the Nagas and face the reality.”
