Dimapur, March 28 (MExN): The NSCN-K Lotha Region cautions the NSCN-IM on what was alleged as using IRB and police uniforms in abetting terrorist activities and extortions in the region.
A note from the region’s “supervisor” Joseph Lotha and “secretary in-charge” Chichamo Lotha pointed out an instance where it was alleged that a group of NSCN-IM men dressed in full police combat uniforms ‘arrested’ one Tsanmomo and subsequently, was killed. The NSCN-K cautioned the authorities concerned that the NSCN-K will not be held responsible in any case of untoward incident taking place with the police or paramilitary force on “mistaken identity,” if “they let the I-K terrorists use their uniforms in the near future.” Entrepreneurs and businessmen and the public are also warned to “desist themselves from doing any kinds of business in collaboration with or from using the business permit issued through the I-K terrorists.”
Further, the note ‘appealed’ to “all the 126” informers of the NSCN-IM in the Lotha “region to shun the path of bloodshed at the behest of anti-Lotha and anti-Nagas.” These informers were responsible for the killing of both innocent public and non-combatant NSCN-K cadres as well as for abetting anti-social activities in the recent past, it stated.
The note also stated that the recent killing of five NSCN-IM cadres at Wokha town “is to be reckoned with seriousness by all concerned.” It maintained that the “peace in the land of the Lothas ushered by the NSCN/GPRN is not solely for the peace of the NSCN/GPRN, but peace for the Lothas.” For this the NSCN-K sought cooperation from the general public in “its effort to fight terrorism” and any anti-social activities in the region. The organization also prayed that the desire for peace would not go in vain.
