RESPONDING TO THE ASSAM RIFFLES’ PRESS STATEMENT
This is in response to the Assam Riffles press statement carried in the local papers of the 28th August 2010 issue, in which the AR stated that ‘One NSCN Cadre was killed’ and ‘five’ others apprehended during the ‘operation in Namsa’. They wrote that NSCN violated the ‘Ceasefire ground rules’ and that the NSCN were using ‘Unparliamentary language’ on the 27th issue of local papers. They themselves stated that when they surrounded the Namsa NSCN Camp there inmates ‘run away’.
The first point, the Naga Army in the Namsa Camp were running away, which means the Naga Army try to avoid arm confrontation in honor of the ceasefire agreement. It did not meant, the Naga Army were timid or afraid of the AR. If the Naga Army personal wanted to fight it is not boasting, in conventional weapons combat 5/6 of our boys can take on 30/40 Indian armed personnel.
Secondly, the present ‘Operation in Namsa’ was there any provisions in the ceasefire agreement that Indian Armed forces can carry on Military operation in Nagaland during the ceasefire period? What did they meant ‘Operation’ we want to know!
Thirdly, the unparliamentary language for the AR writing, hard truths are unparliamentary language and killing and attacking innocent men are parliamentary language? Don’t be too wise in your craftiness.
The NSCN can boastfully say that at present Nagalim is one of the Islands of peace in the entire World. So, why Govt. of India particularly the Home Ministry instigate the AR to disturb the peaceful atmosphere at Nagalim time again?
