DIMAPUR, JUNE 28 (MExN): The Naga Students Federation has submitted an ultimatum to the President of the GPRN/NSCN with regard to what it termed as an “attempt to assassinate the Assistant General Secretary of the NSF by one of your cadres on June 25.”
The ultimatum appended by its President, Tongpang Ozukum and its General Secretary, Esther Rhakho demanded that befitting punishment be awarded to Lieut. Amento Kiba involved in the shootout and stated that the “GPRN/NSCN should clarify the intention of the assassination attempt on the life of the federation official.” It demanded that armed cadres should be confined to the designated camp and that movement of armed cadres in civilian areas should be immediately stopped. The ultimatum sought assurance to “desist from committing such inhuman act in future.”
It added that the recent incident is detrimental to society and that such unabated occurrences have “defied the very basic foundation of Naga national movement by replacing it with acts of violence, intimidation and destroying the people whom you profess to stand for.” The federation urged the GPRN/NSCN to deliver justice to the students’ community on the above stated charter of demands within 7 days with effect from July 28. The NSF cautioned that failing to do so would force them to take further course of action till the legitimate demand is fulfilled.
