Dimapur, January 13 2013 :
The NSCN-IM has pledged today to root out rapists and murderers from 'Nagalim' (Land of the Nagas) .
On Sunday, the NSCN-IM in a statement issued by its 'home secretary' DG Robert said the repeated incidents of rape and murder is a natter of serious concern for the outfit.
"By Naga culture women are held in high esteem in the society.
But what is happening now against women, where rape and murder, have becoming common occurrences reflect a damning degradation of our social values where morality has been disregarded in the most shameful manner not seen before," the NSCN-IM 'home secretary' said.
The Naga outfit while condemning such violence against women in 'Nagalim' said the NSCN-IM will no longer sit idle as mere spectator but strive to root out the social evils-the rapists and murderers.
"Every effort will henceforth be made to eradicate these anti-human elements from our society.
We express our appreciation to the Gorkhas in Nagalim for boldly taking the initiative to rise in protest against the rapists and murderers to demand justice.
We support them and shall cooperate with them in order to bring the social perpetrators to be dealt as per the law of the land.
No effort will be spared and befitting punishment awarded to the culprits," DG Robert stated.
