Pfutsero Town Pastors’ Fellowship has strongly condemned the barbaric assault and extortion of Rs.10,000 on Pastor Krishna Ramauli allegedly by Kuzoveyi Kezo of Pholami village, Deputy Kilonser, Finance of NSCN (R) with cadres on August 31 at about 3 p.m.
PTPF chairman PoyoTunyi and secretary Dr.TsulingupeKapfo in a statement said, “The duty of a pastor, apart from preaching is to nourish and protect the flock from the false doctrine, proclaiming the truth, praying for the people and warning against what is wrong. But it is so distressing to see such uncivilized act toward a pastor. He was even threatened to death with munitions and was treated like a rough,”
PTPF appealed to the concerned authority to control and discipline its cadres and urged all the right-thinking citizens to come forward and condemn such disturbing act which is alien to the Naga society.
