Imphal, October 25 2020:
The Rongmei Naga Youth Organization (RNYO), in its emergency consultative meeting held on October 24, 2020, expressed anger and strong resentment over the 'killing of two precious youth on the night of October 23 at Soubunglong Village, Longmai(Noney) District, Manipur.
In a statement, RNYO said that the incident was an act of cowardice and betrayal.
NSCN U (Raitu & Kamson) creating problems in Manipur is not only violation of ceasefire ground rule but also provoking the people of Manipur by committing violent activities in the state,, it stated and added that the fact is a direct threat to the Rongmei people and the people of Manipur in general.
Condemning the 'brutality' in the strongest term, the organisation asserted that such uncivilized and barbaric activities are outdated and denounced in the Rongmei society.
It is unfortunate to know that factional fight between the ZUF and NSCN Unification led by some members of the defected ZUF who have merged in with the NSCN Unification have played the killing game out of desperation and madness, RNYO said and asserted that the Rongmei youth shall not remain mere spectators anymore.
The organisation also said that every possible measure shall be exercised to get rid of all factional killing in Rongmei land, including deputing agencies to find out all hiding and killing elements in every Rongmei inhabited area and village.
The organization in its meeting has also resolved to take a drastic step over the prevailing social evils.
Informing factional groups operating in the Rongmei area to refrain from all policy of inter-factional hunting and killing, RNYO said that failing to comply with the goodwill information will be implied as a terrorist.
Further, RNYO informed all Indian military organizations, Rongmei villagers and leaders to cooperate with the organization in checking anti-social elements in the society.
