Dimapur, May 14 (EMN): Sumi Community Purana Bazaar ‘B’ (SCPB ‘B’) has vehemently condemned the unwarranted intrusion and search at odd hours allegedly by troops of 32 Assam Rifles in the residences of pastor of Sumi Baptist Church, Purana Bazaar ‘B’ and kilonser Toivi Aye, steering committee member of NSCN (IM) on May 13 at Purana Bazaar ‘B.’
A joint press release issued by SCPB ‘B’ chairman Mughato Aye and secretary P Hekuto Wotsa claimed that Assam Rifles personnel, who around 3 a.m. on Saturday, searched every nook and corners on houses of the two bonafide members thereby terrorising the innocent children and other members of the families.
It said such action by the para military forces deserves outright condemnation from all right thinking citizens since the unwarranted search was carried out during ceasefire period between the Government of India and NSCN (IM), adding even the residence of a pastor was not spared by the 32 AR.
It added that the incident had created extreme fear psychosis in the minds of the two families who no more felt safe even within the confines of their homes.
Even as no substantial incriminating documents were found during the dawn raid, the AR apprehended Toivi Aye from his home, the release said.
