Imphal, November 15:
Strongly condemning the cold blooded murder of Enoch Shinglai by misguided gunmen, the UNC, NPMHR (South), NWUM & ANSAM in a joint statement have denounced the random targeting and killings of a particular community in the name of Naga nationalism.
The joint statement was signed by KS Paul Leo, president UNC, Paulhring Langhu, president ANSAM, Grace Shatsang, president NWUM and Phamhring Sengul, Convenor, NPMHR South.
The statement said that such inhumane atrocities within 'our Naga family has inflicted social imbalance and further hindered our efforts to bring understanding.
It also prejudices our respect for human rights and human value.' Urging all sensible Naga citizens to play proactive role in preventing criminal activities, the statement said that if such calculated crimes are allowed to go scott free, the ethical values of human existence is at the verge of extinction.
The statement went on to question, 'With the rising rate of widow(s) and orphan(s) due to these mindless executions of innocent public, can the Naga people as a mother, a husband or children or the Church remain insensitive to the whole show of the hangman's knot? The joint statement called upon the State Govt of Nagaland to beefed up security measures and evolve steps to control criminal activity.
In a similar vein it also called upon factions of Naga nationalist to put an end random taking of innocent human life.
It also expressed condolences to family members of late Enoch Shinglai.
