Dimapur, August 30: The All Naga Students’ Association, Manipur (ANSAM) strongly condemned the ‘cowardly act’ of hurling a bomb by unidentified person in the midnight of August 28 inside the Berean Lodge, Dewlahland Imphal.
A statement issued by Publicity Wing, ANSAM said, “Such acts are alien to Naga culture and way of life. We are, however, not surprised as these groups committing such act is known for their notorious and nefarious indulgence in everything that is unbecoming of revolutionaries”.
Deliberately targeting Naga areas cannot be seen in isolation but should be understood within the larger context of the Naga people’s support and advocacy for the Indo-Naga peace and also the aspiration of the Nagas, the Association said.
“When such aspiration becomes powerful, threatening the State and the dominant community, it is expected that collusion in any form to weaken and destabilize the process become not just an agenda but a priority for them.”
ANSAM stated that such act will not deter the Naga people but will instead strengthen resolve for political aspiration and to move forward in noble pursuit.
ANSAM urged people to be ever vigilant against such terror mongering force who cannot have any place in civilized society.
