Imphal, April 04:
A day after the exchange-release of the rival cadres by both the NSCN-Unification and the NSCN-IM from their respective custody after kidnapping them, two cadres of the NSCN-IM have been kidnapped again from the New Market area in Dimapur on April 3, reports NNN.
Both the NSCN-U and NSCN-IM had released their rival cadres from their respective custody on April 2 initiated by Reconciliation Forum.
However, on April 3 two cadres namely "captain" Wungreithan and "sgt" Peter have of the NSCN-IM have been kidnapped by the rival NSCN-U from Dimapur fueling fresh wave of tension.
Following this development, the NSCN-IM today said that ironically, every effort is coming to naught in spite of the hard work done by Rev Dr.Wati, Convener of Reconciliation Forum, even after getting the release of the NSCN-IM members abducted by the unification group.
The outfit further stated that respecting and honoring the sentiments of the Naga civil societies to maintain peace in Dimapur NSCN-IM have not gone beyond what is expected by the Reconciliation Forum.
"But the good work done by Dr.Wati is being nullified even before a day passed.
On April 3 Capt.
Wungreithan and Sgt.
Peter were abducted along with one AK47 and one Pistol from New Market.
This kind of incidents that goes on unabated in the face of the appeals by the public is not going to augur well in any sense of the term as indicated by the prevailing situation," cautions the NSCN-IM.
