Dimapur, August 1 (MExN): The NSCN/GPRN (Khango) issued a statement reacting to the July 31 incident in Lapalampong village, Tizit, Mon, in which 4 members of the NSCN/GPRN (Akato) were allegedly abducted by the NSCN (IM) resulting in the death of one. The statement was issued by its Ministry of Information and Publicity.
The deceased victim, identified as Deputy Kilonser, Temzei Konyak, was allegedly beaten to death, while the whereabouts of the other three was said to be unknown.
While alleging the NSCN (IM), it said that the “crime” is “unacceptable and unjustifiable under any circumstances when the Nagas are yearning for peace and reconciliation among the various sections of the Naga society and political groups.” It then advised the NSCN (IM) to refrain from acts of violence that would be detrimental towards peace and unity in the region.
It said, “While NSCN/ GPRN ( Khango) along with the whole Naga people are conscientiously looking forward to maintaining peace and order in the society and pursuing for peaceful co-existence and inculcate understanding amidst the myriad elements, such offensive and vexed activities of the NSCN (IM) towards their own blood brethren is uncalled for and jeopardising the peaceful efforts of the people and deserves to be condemned by every right thinking citizen of Nagas.”
