DIMAPUR, AUG 3: The Forum for Naga Reconciliation (FNR) said today that it was perturbed and pained to hear the news of the reported abduction of 4 members of the NSCN (Akato) and the subsequent death of a deputy kilonser (deputy minister of the outfit) while in the custody of NSCN (IM) in Tizit in Nagaland on July 31.
Saying that details are still emerging, the FNR expressed deep sadness over the incident and made a strong call to all concerned to cease all forms of violence with immediate resolve.
It was just four days ago that Naga apex organizations and the Church made the urgent call in the light of the present happenings in the neighboring States to abstain from succumbing to hatred and innuendos of any kind, FNR said.
FNR also quoted the organisations saying : "We will remain clear and free of violence, be it through written words, mythmaking, propagating falsehoods, discriminating against specific people groups, or the causing of physical harm.”
FNR also appealed to all “Naga Political Groups (NPGs)” and the Naga citizens to shun all forms of violence with immediate effect. The FNR also called upon all not to expose one's weakness by any orders of justification and rationalization.
“Nagas have become immune to such tactics. Let us show our strength by admitting our finitude. The FNR expects all to follow suit in order to move ahead, which is absolutely the need of the hour!”, it added.
The FNR statement also said that Nagas must listen to each other and practice the art of camaraderie.
The Forum has reminded the “Naga Political Groups” on many occasions to honor the Covenant of Reconciliation (CoR) of June 13, 2009, it said.
“Of late, the CoR was affirmed by the NNPG and the NSCN-IM on September 14, 2022, and followed by support given by the Naga apex organizations and the Church on October 8, 2022, with a high definition of in letter and in spirit,” FNR continued.
