Senapati, May 03 2015 :
Expressing resentment over the prolonged silence of the State Government and failure to react effectively on the prevailing tension at Gwaltabi village after the ATCF bandh, United Naga council (UNC) Sunday warned that the Government will be held responsible for any communal flare-up as a consequence of the incident.
UNC said it was well aware of the present situation where innocent public were harassed and cut off for many days now.
"The UNC will not hesitate to react" if the State Government failed to address the issue at the earliest, said the council.
It also appealed to those involved in the incident to resolve the matter peacefully and allow free movement of people and vehicles.
According to UNC publicity wing, the Gwaltabi incident is a clear indication of complete negligence by the Government and its machinery to curb law and order situation in the State.
While condemning the attitude of the "communal" Government, UNC also reiterated its stance on the ban imposed on present ADC members from contesting the upcoming ADC election 2015 .
Citing reports that, certain "pro-government and anti-Nagas elements" are spreading rumours and propagandas that the UNC will review its decision of banning those "unwanted ADC members", the council reaffirmed that the decision to uphold the 2010 Naga People's convention (NPC) decision declaring the ADC polls "null and void" remained the same.
"Any form of misleading the people with baseless and unwarranted reports will draw serious consequence" the UNC warned.
UNC said the collective decision of the Nagas cannot be compromised by few "political traitors" for their own interest.
Sending out strong message to those re-contesting the ADC polls, UNC warned that defying the people's decision to contest again in any form will only invite serious consequence.
"The UNC will take the support of the people to implement its decision against those 'unwanted ADC members' and that, any decision to review its decision is out of question" asserted UNC.
