Dimapur, May 25 (MExN): The Rengma Selo Zi (RSZ) has condemned the incident at Blue Hill station here on May 21, where Gwahilo Rengma, an auto rickshaw driver, was shot on his leg by a stray bullet of GPRN/NSCN cadre, Kihoto Yeptho. In a press release, the RSZ has questioned the cadre and higher authority of the GPRN/NSCN “why its cadre has to freely move around and fire at public places violating the ceasefire ground rule and endangering the life of the innocent public.”
Maintaining that such act by a national worker will rather tarnish the image of Naga nationalism, RSZ has demanded that the accused should not be bailed out as it may endanger and create disharmony in the society.
The release issued by RSZ President, Kenneth Rengma and General Secretary, Shatilo Kent further lauded the Tenyimi Youth Organization Dimapur for its timely intervention in the incident. The youth organization also extended its fullest support to the action and step initiated by TYOD.
The Rengma Students’ Union (RSU) has also condemned the May 21 firing incident. Stating that such blatant shooting in public area by national worker is totally incongruous, a statement from RSU President, RN David Magh has questioned the accused what right he had to shoot indiscriminately putting the lives of the public at risk.
Further, the union supported Tenyimi Youth Organisation Dimapur’s 10-day deadline served to GPRN/NSCN and also lauded Dimapur Police for their timely intervention. While demanding befitting punishment for the accused at the earliest, the RSU appealed to the State Government to expedite compensation to the injured victim.
