DIMAPUR — The Council of Nagalim Churches (CNC), NSCN (IM), has expressed anguish and displeasure over the recent violence in Manipur state and said the nature of the mayhem forced it to conclude that it was a premeditated operation, committed by “insane mob in collusion with people in power.”

“The use of terrorism by state actors is visible beyond human comprehension and we find no words to condemn it as the colluding forces take a perverted pleasure in attacking the helpless tribal people,” the council stated in a press release.
The council said it was shocking and beyond belief that people who claimed to be advanced and civilized community, and who also claimed they are advocating for the rights of the people, can be so “depraved at heart.”

“Instead of coming to the rescue of the helpless victims, they worked in tandem with the criminals in battering the innocents. It is unimaginably vicious in any human sense. History will not forgive them. The perpetrators and actors of violence will not go unpunished by God for their crimes and sacrileges,” CNC stated.

The council went on to state that had there not been God’s providence and the intervention of the Indian para-military forces, “no soul of a particular hill people living in the valley would have survived.”
“We condemn this horrific violence, and call upon all the right thinking people to strongly condemn and denounce such diabolic ruthless individuals who are behind this mayhem,” it stated.
