Working Committee of Naga National Political Groups flays act of violence meted to kilonser

• DIMAPUR — The Working Committee of Naga National Political Groups (WC-NNPG) has taken strong exception to what it termed as ‘unwarranted act of forceful intrusion, physical assaults of cadres, unprovoked firing and life attempt’ on Mughato Chophy, finance kilonser of NSCN (R), allegedly by one Khekato Kinimi, vice president of NSCN (Khango) on May 24 midnight.

• It has described the incident as a matter of grave concern that an official occupying top position in an organisation has to resort to violence and an evil scheme to kill and destroy another compatriot while the rest of Nagas including the Naga political groups, tribal hohos and stakeholders are sincerely striving to move forward by foregoing the past bitterness.

• “The criminalisation of the Naga struggle by individual leaders and political groups has caused huge erosion of confidence and faith of the Naga people. And to resuscitate our sacred struggle, leaders of various political groups must rein in hooligans and hoodlums in their respective set-up rather than encouraging or aiding such elements,” the statement read.

• It was of the opinion that all inter-factional violence is not the need of the hour, rather bridging gap, promoting understanding and mutual acceptance is the only path to assert the right and identity of the Nagas and to collectively secure the shared vision and future of our people.
• 
  
• The WC-NNPG earnestly appealed to all the NPG to exercise restraint and maturity in resolving any misunderstanding and ensure that similar instances of violence and aggression are not repeated in the future.
