Dimapur, Oct 5 (MExN): The NSCN-K while condemning the killing of police constable Hovizol Puyo on October 2 at Kohima placed the blame squarely on its rival, the NSCN-IM.
“Criminals by nature are always quick to point fingers on others so as to divert ire against crime committed by them, thereby alleging NSCN of murder at BOC Kohima on October 3, 2006, where innocent Wireless Constable late Hovizol Puyo was shot dead in cold blood by IK criminals” a release from Isak Sumi, Army Spokesperson of the NSCN-K stated.
The NSCN-K expressed surprise that even before the mortal remains of the constable were laid to rest, the “IK MIP” without wasting any time, blamed the NSCN-K in haste “obviously propelled by guild-ridden conscience.”
“It is clarified that Hovizol as a Naga brother was a natural sympathizer of NSCN acquainted to our urban command boys and several occasions provided transport assistance to our boys; IK cadres having learned this followed him from NST and murdered him at BOC an area that falls under our control in order to make belief others and malign image so also to sow seeds of hatred and division between Angami community and NSCN” the Spokesperson stated adding that such terror tactics to take the life of “our sympathizers would however only back fire on perpetrators itself.”
While asserting that the Naga Army will do anything in its capacity to apprehend those responsible for the crime, the NSCN-K also expressed sympathy with the aggrieved family. “Individual identities of murderers as and when established will be made known to the public at large. We therefore seek cooperation from entire public and concerned authorities interested deliver justice at an earliest” it stated.
