Press Release

Dated: 17th January 2017.

The NSCN seriously take note on the abduction of our senior leader Mr. ZD. Bon, Steering Executive Member at Bhalok/Phalong junction by the 14 Sikh Regiment under Tamei Batallion Headquarters, Tamenglong district in the morning of 16th January 2017, while he was returning home along with family members, including children and mother-in-law after attending a function.

At a time when Nagas are expecting final and peaceful solution from the prolong peace negotiation between India and Nagas representing by NSCN frequent raids, arresting and targeting the national workers by the Indian armed forces/agencies is undermining of its ceasefire ground rules and the peace talk itself. Should Government of India (GoI) say it as lack of coordination to control their armed forces and condone it? Long awaited peaceful solution should not be relegated to the backburner due to such unmindful action of Indian armed forces. Equally it is viewed as potential threat to peaceful environment between Indian and Nagas that in any eventuality GoI should be held responsible.

Hence the GoI should immediately control its armed cadres to behave and adhere to the agreed ceasefire ground rules and the abducted senior leader Mr. ZD. Bon be released unconditionally.
