Dimapur, Sept 23 (MExN): The NSCN-IM has condemned what it termed “the terror tactics unleashed by Khaplang in Nagalim and especially at Dimapur designed with ulterior motives.”
“In cycle of terror tactics unleashed by Khaplang in Nagalim and especially at Dimapur designed with ulterior motives deserves censure by one and all; with our overwhelming support from all sections of Nagas across Nagalim to the Indo-Naga political talks led by the NSCN/GPRN and the dialogue process gaining momentum, the Naga adversaries have been restive” stated a GPRN/MIP release. The NSCN-IM maintained that in “their discomfort of a possible solution” to the Indo-Naga issue, the rival faction is waging distributive activities to vitiate the “calm atmosphere”.
“The excessive extortion demand upon business communities in the face of ransom has been the double-edged weapon of these anti-social elements. Either way around if the demand are met, it is used for further terrorism sponsorship” stated the NSCN-IM adding that failure to meet the demands result in annihilation of victims to be a “model to others… who do not obey their dictates.” The NSCN-IM stated that these terror-tactics also serve as instruments to spread fear and insecurity everywhere thus disrupting all normal life and creating an atmosphere to dislodge the peace effort.
“Today the Nagas are confronted with a blind and insensible antagonist with no sane reasoning but to create havoc and destruction at random so that their mission to divide the Nagas, sow the seeds of distrust, hate, promote terrorism and to clog the path to all peaceful solution, reigns” stated the release. “Should we submit ourselves to the menace of terror or should we stand unitedly and fight against it till it is eradicated from the face of our society? Let us not cow down to elements of terrorism but unitedly confront this scourge of evil before it brings to us further irreparable losses” stated the release.
