Imphal, August 05 2016 :
NSCN has appreciated the positive gesture of Government of India in ensuring the release of Maj Gen Ningkhan Shimray alias Anthony Shimray by an NIA special Court on August 2 in Delhi.
In a statement, NSCN said that it may be recalled that Anthony Shimray was assigned on diplomatic missions abroad and while on his way to New Delhi to attend Indo- Naga peace talks, he was abducted by Indian sleuths at Kathmandu airport in October 2010 .
However, the maturity and sincerity displayed by GoI at this crucial stage of talk will definitely go a long way in forging better relationship and mutual trust between the two entities, said the statement.
NSCN strongly urged the GoI to drop all charges against him and release him unconditionally so that legal entanglements do not come in the way of a political solution.
The NSCN also thanked Naga people for raising their voice at various levels and platforms for early release of Anthony Shimray.
