Naga Hoho (NH) has maintained that the extension of Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act (AFSPA) in the Naga areas was \u201conly the justification of how India had forcefully occupied the free Naga land\u201d and reiterated its demand for complete withdrawal of the \u201cDraconian Act from the region once and for all.\u201d
NH through its media cell said that the government of India seemed to reject and discard the voice of the people when the popularly elected democratic government of Nagaland had recommended for repeal of the infamous AFSPA 1958. \u201cWhen India had officially recognized the political rights of the Nagas, why should India play fool with the sentiments of the Naga people?\u201d NH said.
Stating that there cannot be true peace and mutual respect through the barrel of a gun, the NH has, therefore, said that the \u201cdraconian law must go away from our land.\u201d
NH said it looked forward with hope for a peaceful resolution to the \u201cIndo-Naga\u201d political issue. NH has, however, expressed apprehension that there cannot be true spirit of peace and tranquillity with AFSPA in place.
The hoho alleged that the recent \u201cdeliberate attempt\u201d of the Indian Army to kill innocent Naga citizens with an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) planted in Puilang (Kambiron) village under Tamenglong district on September 24, 2022 was one glaring proof.
NH said that Naga people were \u201coutraged and anguished by the terrors created by the Indian Army over the Naga people.\u201d It stated that the patience of Naga people should not be misunderstood as weakness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
