In a new disclosure the memorandum disclosed that the “matter has taken a very serious turn as the said culprit threatened the victim Ms Imtila Jamir again from the same mobile number on the night of June 28 2011 at 10: 45 pm stating among others that he might come again”.
The JAC has questioned and condemned that her life has been threatened on the very night the leaders of the Action Committee of the Ao Senden and the Watsu Mongdang met the Collective Leadership in New Delhi at 9:30 pm.
The memorandum stated that it was deeply disappointed with the lack of action on the part of the NSCN/GPRN and as such it was resolved to send a delegation of women leaders from various tribes to seek the immediate attention and intervention of the Collective Leadership.
Meanwhile the memorandum has reiterated the stand of the JAC of Naga women that “we are above politics and tribal considerations” and that it was their firm belief that the Collective Leadership rise to the occasion and listen to Naga women’s voices for justice and its vehement protest against such armed violence particularly on women.
Pointing out that as mothers, wives, sisters and daughters, Naga women have contributed to nation building, the memorandum stated that its efforts as peacemakers, peace builders and peacekeepers must be recognized and respected. The JAC hoped that the Collective Leadership would stand for justice and ensure women’s right to peace and security and initiate immediate action on the above mentioned demands.
As per the memorandum it was mentioned that on May 27, 2011 the retired Registrar was attacked and shot by two armed cadres SS Pvt Worshim Kashung and Corporal Ngalenshang Chahongnao of the NSCN/GPRN at her residence at PR Hill, Kohima.
