Dimapur, Dec. 12 (EMN): Konyak Union on Sunday has demanded the administration to allocate a site to erect a monolith in honour and respect for the victims of the Oting incident.
The site will be used as ‘Genocide Park’ in order to mark the day 14 innocent lives were massacred on Dec. 4 and 5, an update from KU stated.
The same day is already being marked in Konyak history as the “Black Sunday”, the Union added.
It also reiterated that if the demand for allocation of site is not met at the earliest, ‘the Konyaks will be compelled to take extreme course of action’.
The Union has also demanded the Indian Security forces to return the ‘hard earned money,including their bikes and other belongings taken from the victims they have killed’.
In regard to the ceasefire being signed with different Naga political groups, KU has clarified that the NSCN (YA) does not have any base camp nor operating offices in the district of Mon.
“The Konyaks, therefore questions the Indian army, as to whose intelligent source/s they operating?” it stated.
KU further informed that on the culmination of the “week of deep mourning”, Konyak civil societies (CSOs) will be organising a candle light vigil in collaboration with KBBB (Konyak Baptist Bumeinok Bangjum) across the villages of the entire district.
It will also organise a mass public rally on Dec. 16 whereby the remainder of the memorandum will be submitted to the Govt. of India through the Govt. of Nagaland.
It has asked the Konyak civil societies including KSU subordinates, KU branch and KNSK branch to comply with the order.
KU further clarified that any kind of ex-gratia or compensation will not be accepted until justice is delivered to all victims including the survivors and family members.
It has urged the SIT (Special Investigation Team) to update the ongoing report to the Konyak civil societies and to expedite the process at the earliest.
“Furthermore, after the end of the mourning week, the Konyaks won’t be silent but will take more extreme course of actions if the concerned authorities, including Govt. of Nagaland and Govt. of India fail to deliver justice within the stipulated time as demanded in the charter of demands,” it added.
