Aichisaghemi bodies condemn October 17 incident
Dimapur, October 19 (MExN): The Aichisaghemi Students’ Union (ASU) and Aichisaghemi Village Council (AVC) has appealed to all the NPGs to “maintain restraint at this crucial stage of the Indo-Naga peace parlays and create mutual understanding between the groups towards achieving a united goal as disunity and animosity will only lead to our own destruction.”
While expressing ‘pain and displeasure over the incident and circumstances that led to the killing’ of Atoka Kinny, an NSCN-K (Niki group) functionary on the night of October 17 at Dimapur, ASU President, Inagha Kinny and AVC Chairman, Toniho Yeptho in a joint statement urged all cadres belonging to Aichisaghemi village and serving in various Naga National Groups not to defect or cause/incite defection from one group to the other as “it was their choice to join the Naga National Movement no matter what their destiny holds for them.”
“While the killing of Atoka Kinny, a member from Aichisaghemi is unfortunate and the reasons for committing such an act may be best known to the perpetrators of the crime,” it stated that, “Aichisaghemi community has lost one budding and ambitious young man who has left behind a grieving wife, children and parents.”
“While we grieve and mourn with the affected family, such killing is uncalled for as it came at a time when all Naga political groups are expecting a solution to the decades old Naga political imbroglio,” it stated.
