KOHIMA, NOVEMBER 11 (MExN): The Kohima Village Council (KVC) today condemned the November 10 firing incident where one person was shot at in Kohima Village by armed miscreants. A press note from the KVC appealed to all the different Naga Political groups to respect the call of the Naga public and “refrain from killing one’s own brothers.” There is no greater sin on earth than killing one’s own brother, it is not only a crime against humanity but is also the greatest sin before God, so we sincerely urge the political groups to stop committing this hateful crime,” it urged. “We often come across news of fratricide amongst the Naga political groups, an act apposed and condemned by all peace loving citizens of Nagaland yet the groups have again shown that they neither respect the appeals nor the sentiments of the public,” the KVC lamented. Kohima, it affirmed “is a place chosen by God to be our state capital, a place for all Naga tribes to live together in harmony and tranquility, so I strongly urge all the Naga political groups not to turn Kohima into a killing field.”
