Dimapur, August 2 (MExN): The Dimapur Ao Youth Organisation (DAYO) has stated that it is astounded by the turn of event between the NSCN (Khango) and the proprietor of KKB.
When capital punishment is pronounced on K Rulho a reputed contractor, the onus to mediate and resolve the crisis falls on the Angami Youth Organisation (AYO) as the apex youth body of the community, it stated in a press statement on Thursday.
DAYO condemned the “audacity of NSCN (Khango)” to issue death sentence based on forceful collection and extortion to a fellow Naga. “Such diktak is alien to Naga society and undermines our forefather’s sacrifices, who unitedly gave their best for the Naga cause,” DAYO Grievances Cell Convenor, Imkong Aier and President, Tia Longchar stated in its press release. The subsequent reaction of the NSCN (Khango) to the AYO press statement has drawn the battle line between the two entities. Any provocation from either side will drag the Naga society into a cortex of vicious violence, it stated.
DAYO also questioned the deafening silence of Chairman of the Ceasefire Monitoring Group (CFMG) and the Ceasefire Supervisory Board (CFSB) and “they will be held accountable.”It went on to allege that “it is because of the lackadaisical attitude of the CFMG over the years in implementing the ceasefire ground rules that is pushing Nagaland to a state of anarchy. The NPGs instead of being in their designated camps are on an extortion spree with the guns issued to numerous cardholders.”
Further, it stated that “the patience and endurance of the Naga public against unabated and multiple forced extortion should not be taken as a sign of weakness. The citizens of Nagaland are on the verge meltdown. It just needs a spark to start a public uprising.”
Therefore, DAYO have a clarion call to all likeminded Naga youth organisations to stand united during this time of socio-political challenges. “If not now, when? Can Naga youth stand united against nefarious forces making a mockery of human values, respect and our indelible history?” it paused.
“We will not be found wanting when coming Naga generation seek answers. DAYO stands with AYO, shoulder to shoulder to curb this cancerous growth of 24 factions and still counting whose ideology are now mostly based on spreading fear psychosis and extortion,” it asserted.
