Dimapur, May 23: The NSCN-IM on Friday expressed unhappy over the muteness maintained by the various organisations including the Church and the Nagaland Govt over the killing of seven Tangkhuls reportedly by the NSCN-Unification after abducting them on May 13 from Vihokhu village near Dimapur.

"In the fitness of the killing of 7 Tangkhul origin of Vihokhu village after their abduction by Azheto group on May 13, it is horrifying to see this being consigned to oblivion, be it the civil societies, Church bodies or even the State Govt, nothing was raised to unearth the truth of everything, and no humanitarian program initiated towards the families.

Whereas the State Govt has been dilatory in dealing with the situation of such magnitude, the voice of condemnation to the killing and sympathy to the families was found to be totally absent.

Why nobody declaim against the killing? Under the circumstances, NSCN find it too demeaning to trust Gaonburas and Dobashis (GBs and DBs) whose voice is bearing no meaning other than deceptive concern.

Why they are not courageous enough to speak out against the act of killing? Why they have not taken cognizance of the issue in true spirit?," asked the NSCN-IM today in a running commentary.

The outfit alleged that the DBs and GBs Joint Forum have neither passed any condolence to the families nor control the situation nor condemned it.

"Can such forum that has no heart of neutrality and impartiality under such trying times be trusted?," further asked the NSCN-IM.

It then stated that the NSCN-IM can no longer be taken for a ride by such forum sans the spirit that reflects commitment to do justice.

The forum's voice is becoming an object of derision in the process of its own making, said the NSCN-IM.

"Ridiculously, Azheto group is desperately trying to distant its hands from the Vihokhu killings.

Filling guilty after the villagers raise their voice of protest? Why Azheto group stop the villagers from searching for the dead bodies? Deception and hypocrisy being their culture, its does not come too surprising.

Issuing fictitious statement will not take them anywhere near ablution," added the NSCN-IM statement.

The outfit then accused the influential Church body of Nagaland and said, "Unbecoming of the Church apex body, the Nagaland Baptist Churches Council (NBCC) reacted to the slaughter of 17 Azheto boys following the miscalculated confrontation of Azheto boys with the Naga Army of NSCN at Seithikima 'C', near Patkai Christain College, as "disgusting" but the NBCC, surprisingly, did not find disgusting when innocent public including a student and a Chaplain name Capt.

Vitoshe were inhumanly killed by Azheto boys.

A church body of highest order bereft of moral integrity is a very sad experience for the people to witness.

But in the process moral authority of NBCC is being placed at great stake." The outfit also stated that quite unbecoming of its responsibility towards its citizens, the Nagaland Govt is found guilty of serious dereliction of its duty by not doing anything tangible that is palliative in the matter justice and human rights.

"Why have they not initiated any investigation as deserved by any bonafide citizen of Nagaland? These 7 victims are permanent residents of Vihokhu having migrated there more than 30 years ago, a part and parcel of Sumi community.

Why is the State government going for this cynical view and not even rising up to its conscience?," questioned the NSCN-IM.

On the recent peace rallies across Nagaland organised by Gaonburas and Dobashis Joint Forum, the NSCN-IM ridiculed that going by the meaning of the peace rallies, "the happening in Dimapur is obnoxious and nauseating".
