Imphal, July 16 2014:
The story of the Nagas and tribals in Manipur has been one of marginalization, victimization, discrimination and domination under the communal Government of Manipur, alleged a statement of Publicity wing of United Naga Council (UNC) on Tuesday.
The statement affirmed that a negotiated settlement to the decades-old Indo-Naga issue based on the unique history and situation of the Naga people will be the logical conclusion of the ongoing peace process.
It further said a Committee is being formed by the GoI to translate the demands for an alternative arrangement outside the Government of Manipur into a political reality.
At this critical juncture the highly condemnable killing of the late Mr.Ngalangzar Malue by unidentified persons has taken place, the UNC lamented, while charging the government of Manipur for capitalizing the incident to sabotage the ongoing peace process and the people's democratic movement.
The use of force to assert itself as a police state in Naga areas is a blatant infraction of our democratic rights perpetrated by the Ibobi Government with utter disrespect for the Naga people, said the UNC statement, urging the Naga people to be vigilant for ensuring a secure future.
