Survival Nagaland (SN) organized candle light service in memory of the October 2, 2004 twin blasts victims at Dimapur, Clock tower Thursday evening.
Exhorting the gathering Lotha Baptist Church, Dimapur Associate Pastor Thenjamo Tsanglo said that it was God’s intention that His people live in peace, unity and prosperity in their own land.
He however lamented that this is not happening in Nagaland and that it was the responsibility of every citizen of the state to voice out against this insecurity.
Tsanglao hoped that Survival Nagaland (SN) team who organized the programme would take God into their side and usher in a non-violent movement with “guided wisdom” while voicing out the grievances to the higher authority.
SN member Vikali Shikhu while expressing solidarity to the families of the victims also said this day should not only be remembered in memory of those killed in the blasts ten years ago, but this should also be the day to tell one another to be more stronger so that “we” can protect Nagaland from such “terrible” incidents in the near future.
The SN member remarked that the “outsiders” have been successful in planting bombs and blasting them and were now trying to outnumber “us” by population explosion.
She urged the gathering to act as “we have every right to be defensive.” She appealed all to step forward and have a mission mode to address the issue of IBIs.
A minute silence was observed in remembrance of the 30 victims who died and other who were injured at the blasts at Dimapur railway station and Hongkong Market on October 2, 2004.
