Press Statement on Litan Burning
11 February, 2026
“Scorched-earth tactics” of Kuki militants and Indian Security Forces
Nothing could be further from truth as made to believe by false picture given by the Kuki frontal bodies on Litan burning issue. The complicity of the security forces is simply appalling. What began as a result of the Kuki drunkards beating up one Tangkhul was used as pretext by the Kukis militants to establish collusion with the security forces to target Tangkhul houses. Security forces were blatantly seen joining the Kuki militants with few of them using mask to hide their faces.
Everything is made to look loud and clear that the Kuki militants enjoyed the patronage of the security forces with the green signal from the Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India. It was, therefore, a premeditated arson committed by the Kuki militants against the Tangkhul Nagas.
In the typical twisted manner of using the incident, the Kuki organizations jump into the fray to play victim card blaming the Tangkhuls with NSCN support responsible for the burning of the Kuki houses.
The so-called World Kuki-Zo Intellectual Council (WKZIC) even have the audacity to write to the Prime Minister of India playing the victim card in the hands of the Tangkhuls and NSCN. While the actual story is all about “breach of rule of law” by the Indian security forces assisting the Kuki militants in burning down of the Tangkhul houses. This is a grave violation of human rights.
In the face of this brute force of aggression on Litan Tangkhuls, the die has been cast, forcing the NSCN to put on record the Litan burning issue as a symbol of aggression against the Naga nation using the unruly Kuki militants as the frontal body of the Government of India against the political rights of the Nagas. NSCN shall therefore, stand the ground come what may to defend the land of the God given Naga nation.
