Dimapur, April 24 (MExN): The April 22 rampage in Wungram colony, Purana Bazar was a case of taking public response too far, Nagaland Baptist Church Council (NBCC) said and has advised raising ‘the level of thinking.’ Expressing profound unhappiness at the “Fiery Sunday” incident, the NBCC through its Director of Peace Affairs, Dr Kari Longchar, stated: “The angry outrage felt by the community of the person beaten by the three young men is understood by the public – but the response and retaliation went too far.”
No one has gained from what happened except those whose interest may be best served if Nagas do not rise above the present level of thinking and motivation, the NBCC reminded. The council has called upon the Nagas to exercise restraint and choose to resolutely assist one another to pave the way forward. “We express our grief and sympathy for the victims of the tragedy and appeal to all churches and public to express love in action the council appealed.
