Imphal, Aug 29:
Expressing deep concern over the quit notice served on the Tangkhuls staying at Nagaland by the NSCN (K), the Centre for Organisation Research and Education today said that it is extremely disconcerting that the quit notice has been served while the indigenous people of the world are trying to unite.
In a statement, CORE said that it is their resolve to ensure that every human being leads a life of dignity and no one should be subjected to the insult and offence of being displaced by another group of people.
Manipur and the North East have already witnessed the fall outs of quit notices and the wounds are yet to be healed, said CORE and added that this time it will not keep quiet and remain silent spectators.
Stating that Governments of Nagaland, Manipur and India have not shown any concern to fulfil their legal obligations of protecting its citizens, CORE said that it is a shock to see the Govts remaining silent over the threats issued to a people.
Asserting that CORE believes in the dictum that reconciliation is the only path to co-existence and survival, the statement said that said those who claim to represent the interest of their peoples and future should demonstrate their responsibility.
This can be achieved by a mature and compassionate vision of the future guided by the principle of forgiving for the wrongs done and an honourable settlement through dialogue.
