Condemnation of killing of late K. Jonathan
Tahamzam, 18th September, 2013
The United Naga Council and Naga Women Union condemns the abduction and subsequent killing of late K. Jonathan, a candidate for the Presidentship of the Tangkhul Naga Long(TNL) and a former Vice-President of the All Naga Students’ Association, by unidentified persons in Ukhrul, whose mortal remains was discovered on 17th September, 2013.
The Naga people have always stood against the use of violence by any group particularly upon members of the civil society whatever may be the charges alleged and leveled.
We also condemn the bomb attack on the office of the TNL, in the heart of thickly populated Ukhrul town on the night of 16th Sept, 2013 suspected to be carried out by cadres of an outfit in this connection which is an abominable act, alien to the culture and social values of the Naga people.
The civil society, which upholds the unity and oneness of the people is greatly disturbed by this unfortunate chain of events.
We once again appeal to all concern to refrain from violence and use of terror weapons and to create space for dialogue through which differences and misunderstandings can be resolved.
In this moment of grief and loss, we reach out to the wife, children and relatives of the late K. Jonathan with our sympathies and solidarity. May the good Lord bless them with the grace to bear the irreparable loss and the strength to carry on with life once again in His protection.
