They also accused the CM of creating a \u201cstate sponsored terror, butchering two young and promising Naga youth\u201d and wondered how many more would be killed.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;APO has also demanded the resignations of all Angami legislators including parliamentary secretary Municipal Affairs.

NCD prayed for solace and conveyed condolences to the bereave family members.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>CPO: Chakhesang Public Organisation (CPO) in a press note condemned the \u201ctreacherous act\u201d committed by chief minister, for his calculated act in betraying the trust reposed by JCC on the government and for making mockery of NBCC.<\/div>\n<div>CPO president Kekhwengulo Lea and general secretary Mutsivoyi Kotso further said that the \u201cadamant move\u201d by the state government to hold the civic polls \u201cat any cost\u201d had rather taken the lives of two innocent youths. In this regard, CPO has demanded immediate resignation of the chief minister T.R. Zeliang and his cabinet colleagues. CPO also questioned the government over signing the tripartite agreement and later carrying out a meticulous plan to fool the Naga people till the last moment. CPO said it was very clear that the two precious lives were lost and several injured and survival of some uncertain and many more displaced due to the chief minister\u2019s \u201cuntamed ambition, senselessness, visionless and arrogance\u201d. CPO said the chief minister has lost all moral and political right to lead the people now stood condemned by the people. It warned that people will not allow him to turn Nagaland into hell.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>CPO also squarely blamed the \u201cstrong headed and arrogance of JACWR, at the behest of NMA\u201d, to push for the civic polls, which had only cost the lives of two precious youths. \u201cThey are no less responsible than the state government and as matter of fact they had initiated and aggravated the prevailing situation without least botheration of consequence to come,\u201d CPO said. It went on to state that JACWR\u2019s obsession with 33% reservation had seemingly overridden the significance of Art 371A, thereby turning the entire state into killing field.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\u201cUnless congenial situation is created and unless the demand of Naga people is fulfilled JACWR should also be prepared to face consequence of their own creation,\u201d it warned. It further called for a unified tribal body of all hohos to henceforth withdraw solidarity and cooperation to those tribal hohos who were in support of ULB polls against the voices of the Nagas.<\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>People in Nagaland greeted February 1, 2017 with a sense of grief and outrage over police firing on January 31- where two youths were killed and five injured in Dimapur and in Longleng where seven persons were injured.&nbsp; The anger resonated with strong demands that called for the immediate resignation of the government headed by [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[679],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-16845","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-nagaland-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nagalandpost.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16845","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nagalandpost.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nagalandpost.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nagalandpost.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nagalandpost.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16845"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/nagalandpost.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16845\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nagalandpost.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16845"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nagalandpost.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16845"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nagalandpost.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16845"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
