Dimapur, March 29 (MExN): The NSCN-K calls “distortion of truth” the condemnation issued by the Naga Students’ Federation (NSF) against the March 17 killing of one person by unidentified gunmen in Mokokchung. A note from “under secretary” Ame Konyak of the outfit’s MIP also stated that the Ao community should not “keep silent or be a mute spectator to such barbarism.”
Stating that the NSF’s condemnation is a “distortion of truth” because “it is well known that he (the victim) fell victim to I-K terrorism,” the NSCN-K stated that “we don’t even want Nagaland to be a ground dotted with the tombstone of innocent people falling victims to alien death-traps.” Expressing ignorance what “they are up to” it asserted that “they are a crazy mob, mad at something here in Nagaland which help explains why they do such miserable things making their favorite game or pass times.” These acts of ‘omission and commission’ have “thrashed while senseless ten standards have a tendency to be obeyed” it maintained.
Further, the Ao community, being the torch bearers of moral and Christian values, should not remain silent spectators to ‘such barbarism.’ “Condemnation put up only in a press without pressing the appropriate agencies to book and contain such anti-social elements is but an act where word or faith and the action do not co-exist” it stated asserting that the community and “other NGOs” know “fully well” that the victim was killed by the NSCN-IM.
“At the same time, the I-K terrorist shying away from owning the responsibility is a sheer mockery and act of cowardice” it stated.
The outfit mentioned that even in the case of the shootout in Namsa on March 24, “where three I-K terrorists were actually killed and several others injured,” the NSCN-IM had distorted the facts. ‘Self styled Lt. Col’ Absolom denying any casualty on their side in this shootout is a usual childish propaganda wherein he and his cohorts will always feed the family members of those killed with these words ‘sent to Alee command’ upon enquiry,” it stated.
It added that whether it is an NSCN-K or an NSCN-IM cadre killed they are all Nagas and the NSCN-K is never happy over killings “that is why the NSCN is very much pained to see and experienced such killings among the Nagas.”
