Dimapur, Feb 10 (MExN): Lok Sabha MP from Nagaland, W Wangyuh Konyak, in his message of condolence, said that the death of the 3 IRB Jawans in a landmine explosion in Chhattisgarh brings a paradoxical feeling of sentiments and the latest sacrifice is a testimony how far Nagas are able to go.
The “Daring Ninth” has surely picked up from where their fellow Nagas and national heroes of Kargil had left behind and Nagas have nothing to prove to the country, but the Country needs to realize how much and how far Nagas are willing to go, if given the opportunity, the MP stated in his message of condolence.
“The supreme sacrifice of the 3 Jawans, that too in a foreign land, will be remembered in the annals of the Naga history. But on the other hand, I feel greatly for the near and dear ones of the 3 Jawans of the 9 IRB, for in these moments of glory and victory they will not be present to celebrate with the rest of their fellow Jawans, but ultimately they will be regarded as martyrs and posthumously awarded with the highest of bravery awards, for they died for the Country which has brought a great deal of injustice and pain to the generation before them” he said.
Nagas have proved their worth during the Kargil conflict and commanding officers of the Armed Forces learned that Nagas are usually friendly and hospitable but on the other hand, they are always the ones with the sharper edge in times of war, MP Konyak acknowledged.
“I salute ABSI Apong Chang, Assistant Commandant Surhoto Pochury and Naik Imnawati, for their supreme sacrifice and I also salute the proud parents that gave birth to these heroes and martyrs and also their family members, for they died for cause worthy of National reputation and recognition.” Wangyuh Konyak said.
It is truly worthy of the Daring Ninth, to have such courageous, committed and dedicated Jawans thus they should all be considered as National heroes with names like Bhagat Singh, Subash Chandra Bose, Field Marshal General Manekshaw and all other great men and women who sacrificed their very existence for a worthy cause, that too a National cause, Wangyuh pointed out warning that the Naxals should and must realize that Nagas are there to stay till every last Naxal is flushed out. “It is a huge mistake of the Naxals if they think such activities and methods will deter the Naga Jawans, for I am sure every Jawan of the 9 IRB are willing to go to the limit which the fallen comrades had gone” MP Konyak added with pride.
