CYF condemns March 5 incident

Chakhesang Youth Front (CYF), while condemning the March 5 incident in Dimapur, stated that the incident had brought not only disrepute to the entire Nagas in front of the world but put the Nagas vulnerable to attacks and discrimination elsewhere. 

Stating that the barbaric and savage act carried out by the mob was condemnable, CYF president, Zhopayi Nakro and the finance secretary, Vekhriyi Chuzho, have urged upon the law enforcing agencies to award befitting punishment to the culprits.

“While fixing responsibility for not containing the mob, the government action of suspending officials is selective and devoid of logic,” the statement said. Stating that the government was aware of the impending danger prior to March 5, CYF said failure to ensure effective implementation of law and order lies not only with the district administration but the onus lies with the government. 

It, therefore, said owning responsibility should start from the highest level rather being selective and making some officials scapegoat. It urged the government for immediate fixing of responsibility at every level rather than being selective.
