Condemns the killing at Pangsho, Tuensang district of Nagaland
August 30, 2015
The office of the Naga Students' Federation vehemently condemns the killing at Pangsho, Tuensang district of Nagaland. The ongoing political conflict cannot be solved through military might but through dialogue. The Nagas since time have seen enough violence and bloodshed. And today, when we can see a ray of hope for a lasting peace, the Federation earnestly appeals the NSCN K to resume ceasefire with the Government of India in the larger interest of the Nagas and solve the Naga political issue in an amicable and peaceful means.
The Government of India is being applauded by the world community for displaying its sincerity to solve the longest political conflict in southeast Asia with dialogue while on the other hand, the same government is mercilessly and heedlessly taking lives under the aegis of 'Friends of the Hill People'. The Government of India should be reminded that regardless of the factions all Nagas are fighting for one common goal. Therefore, we expect the Government of India to respect the aspirations of the Naga people.
The display of military might by the 'Friends of the Hill People' and random killing in the process of exterminating any Naga Political Group will append anger rather then impart fear, adding more chaos to the already complicated state of affairs. Therefore, the Federation sincerely argues all the armed groups: Nagas and Indian to respect human lives and put an end to all form of violence for once and for all.
