Dimapur/Imphal, August 23 2012:
The Khole-Kitovi group of the NSCN, Zeliangrong Region has alleged that the activities of outfits such as NSCN-IM, Zeliangrong United Front (ZUF) and NSCN-K continue to be detrimental factors for the agents working for peace in the Zeliangrong areas.
The Zeliangrong Region, NSCN-Khole/Kitovi on Thursday said violence continues to persist in the region generated from the ZUF, NSCN-IM and NSCN-Khaplang.
It said, "In spite of the various declarations made by Zeliangrong civil bodies and elders there have been bloodshed in the Zeliangrong Region" .
While coming down heavily on the group responsible for the recent killing of Zeliangrong Students' Union, Manipur (ZSUM) secretary Chunthuigai Kamei, the NSCN-Khole/Kitovi of Zeliangrong Region said the Khaplang group continues to ignore the calls of the Naga intellectuals, public leaders and civil society organisations for reconciliation.
It stated that the NSCN-Khaplang still refuses to join the Naga reconciliation process "because they are into killing spree" .
The outfit then advised the NSCN-K to understand the sentiment of the Naga public and carry out its activities.
David Riamei who is the Zeliangrong Region's "Regional Administrative Officer" (RAO) of the NSCN-Khole/Kitovi while recalling how ZSUM secretary Chunthuigai Kamei was shot dead by the NSCN-K, stated that the student leader was killed for no reason whatsoever.
He claimed that the slain student leader was innocent, sincere in his work and a qualified person.
"How can a revolutionary fight for a benign cause by intimidating people, threatening media persons, killing peace makers etc., etc.?" questions David Riamei, adding,"Those elements are nothing but a gang fighting their daily comforts" .
