DIMAPUR, FEBRUARY 1 (MExN): The Nagaland Tribes Council (NTC) has mourned the death of two people in Dimapur and rued that “had tact, care and statesman been exercised in the perusal of ULB scheduled election, the lost of precious lives would have been avoided.”
“When so much acrimony was built up between the agitators and the state Government, it was anticipated that lest Govt. cautiously and maturely handles the situation, the end result would obviously be ugly as it is now. The immaturity and incapacity of the present Govt. is how it allowed to keep the citizens of Nagaland divided sharply on the issue in question,” the NTC stated in a press note.
It condemned the mishandling of the situation, while expressing condolence to the bereaved family members, and further expressed its sympathy with those injured persons at different places.
It meanwhile urged that the people of Nagaland need to have a “meeting point under any circumstances as we cannot imagine destroying Nagaland just because of a discord on an issue.” It appealed to all concerned to let “just and reason precede emotions and exercise restrain so as to avoid further damage beyond what has happened already.”
