Dimapur, MAY 27(MExN): Condemning in strongest terms the assault of its cadres by IRB personnels, the NSCN (IM) cautioned the Indian imposed state of Nagaland to reign in its IRB cadres from anti-peace activities. The GPRN also asked the state to restrain itself from recruiting anti-Naga vices into its fold which would be a destructive element to the peace initiative.
The NSCN (IM) issued the warning against the backdrop of IRB personals assaulting three of its cadres today in Phek town at around 3 pm. It was reported that the incident occurred when three NSCN (IM) cadres had gone on leave to their parent’s homes to attend a prayer fellowship.
Since it was Sunday, the cadres were said to have gone unarmed and in their civies when they were way-laid on their return by Sgt. Maj. Akho and Private Pummon of the 10th IRB, who were alleged to be drunk. When the perpetuators found the cadres without uniform or arms, they were manhandled and severely assaulted, rendering them to be hospitalized though they committed no wrong.
In this connection The GPRN also warned the Nagaland state that it should not be held responsible for untoward disciplinary action upon the anti-national and anti-social perpetrators for their heinous acts upon the NSCN (IM) cadres.
