Dimapur, October 9 (MExN): Greatly dissatisfied and perturbed by the NSCN (K) explanation about the October 3 incident where some NSCN (IM) cadres and civilians were killed in Kohima, the Chakhesang Students Union today declared that it is not going to accept the NSCN (K)’s explanation and that it is not going to rest until and unless the culprits involved in the incident are brought to book
A press communiqué from the Chakhesang Students’ Union termed the NSCN (K)’s explanation over the whole incident as ‘disgraceful, shallow, outrageous, malicious and devoid of reason’.
The CSU asserted that on that fateful day, victims were attacked no sooner had they boarded the jeep and traveled some 20 to 30 meters.
“Knowing fully well that the jeep was packed with innocent people, the perpetrators committed the act and that explains why, it was deliberate and intentional,” the CSU declared.
The CSU strongly asserted that no human reason can comprehend the ‘illogical reasoning’ of that NSCN (K)’s allegation that the ‘innocents’ are working in tandem with the NSCN (IM) cadres.
The communiqué affirmed that there is no moral right to kill innocent citizens.
“We would like to state in no uncertain terms that, such manipulation, machination and concoction of the act is unpalatable to all section of the society,” it said about the NSCN (K) explanation and said that the ‘justification provided by the faction ‘is shallow and a grievous attempt to mislead, manipulate and whitewash the unjustifiable act’. “May it be known to one and all that, the Chakhesangs are not going to buy their justification which is devoid of reason, fair play and natural justice?” the communiqué informed.
The CSU said that it is not going to rest until thee culprits involved in the October 3 incident are brought book and justice delivered.
“We would like to remind the NSCN K and FGN (non accordist) that lest the culprits are booked and punished, the Chakhesang Students Union is not going to rest,” the communiqué declared and added that the people will not be held responsible for any social unrest created by the ‘for self defense aftermath of the tragedy’.
The CSU also deplored the state government for its inaction and said that the silence of the government till date voluminously speaks of the abdication of their moral responsibility to protect the lives of innocent citizens “Should the government continue with its indifferent and lackadaisical approach towards resolving issues of the people, the people would have no option but to resort to taking the laws in their own hands” the communiqué cautioned.
The Ceasefire Monitoring Cell also came in the line of attack by the Chakhesang Students’ Union, who depreciated the Cell for its inability to enforce the ceasefire ground rules and said that the ceasefire monitoring cell has yet again displayed ‘callousness, insensitivity and utter failure to enforce the ground rules’ making the innocent publics pay a heavy price for their inaction.
“We urge the competent authority to enforce the ground rules in letter and spirit for the well being of all the citizens without which, it will invite the wrath of the people” the communiqué reminded the Cell.
