Mon, December 7 (MExN): The Konyak Union and its frontal organisations have express “anguish and hurt” over the Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s statement in the Parliament on December 6 regarding the December 4 incident that took place at Oting village.
“His statement about the incident as laid down in the house of Parliament is misleading, indigestible and false,” it said in a press release, adding that “there are many evidences and truth behind what had actually occurred in that unfortunate fateful evening at Oting village (both photos, audio and visuals).”
The Union stated that Shah’s remarks were “purely in favour of the Indian military point of view,” while recounting that the civilians were returning to their village from their place of work—the Tiru coal mine, and “were directly ambushed without any questions enquired; not as the Hon’ble Minister stated in the Parliament that they were asked to stop.”
Expressing anguish at the statements, the Konyak Union urged the Union Government and the concerned ministry “to probe the incident with facts and evidence, to portray the actual facts and events that took placed; and not simply relying nor reasoning to some distorted twisted information and accounts made by some Officials yearning for promotions or other National awards.”
It also urged the Nagaland Government to take a serious note in this matter and bring justice without further delay.
