NSCN/GPRN (Reformation) through its MIP has strongly condemned the “barbaric and cowardice act of 5th Assam Rifles for provoking the peaceful atmosphere by raiding the house of Naga leader N. Kitovi, who is heading six Naga National Political Groups (NNPGs)” on September 5 evening.
MIP said incidents like this should not only be condemned, but needed to be countered squarely since such action was a road block for peaceful solution.
NSCN (R) has asked AR to reveal as to what objectionable things/materials were found in Kitovi’s house. It reminded the AR that their leader, N. Kitovi was a peace loving citizen and not a terrorist.
NSCN (R) further sought explanation to the people as to who had authorized AR to humiliate the Naga leader. NSCN (R) cautioned that the AR “cannot justify their uncivilized action by explaining the draconian law (AFSPA) because our leader is well–protected under Ceasefire mechanism.”
It said that when government of India (GoI) was trying its best to resolve long standing political issue with the Nagas, “its security forces continue to provoke the peaceful atmosphere in Naga country”. Such action was not only objectionable, but undesirable at this crucial juncture. Citing several instances of brutal action by AR/security forces, NSCN (R) said that on July 6 at Khonsa, Arunachal Pradesh, Indian security forces had brutally murdered four Naga Army in cold blood and even inflicted multiple bruises after they were murdered.
In this regard, NSCN (R) asked whether the Indian security forces considered Nagas as their number one enemy? While stating that Nagas were not enemies of India, NSCN (R) said “we have never created any problem in Indian mainland like Mumbai, Delhi and Kolkatta etc. We are only defending our nation from Indian invasion.”
It further said that on August on 28, the Naga Army was attacked by Indian security forces in Changlang district, Arunachal Pradesh.
Despite such brutal actions by Indian security forces, NSCN (R) said the Naga Army refrained from retaliating since Nagas were for peaceful solution.
Asserting that nothing can wipe out the spirit of Naga revolutionary forces, NSCN (R) asked GoI if it was serious to resolve the conflict with the Nagas. “The time has dawn for GoI to ask Assam Rifles and its security forces as to why their actions on the Nagas gone beyond its limit because the situation is always provoked only by Indian security forces,” it added.
