Imphal, Sep 28: Zeliangrong Elders’ Forum said, “The gun-fight reportedly between the NSCN: IM and a combined forced of NSCN(K) and ZUF on the 25-26/9/2012 at Matung Village can be read as a deliberate defiance and attempt to derail the peace embodied in the Puiluan Peace Agreement,2008 which is in place in Zeliangrong area.
The perpetrators can be termed ad the saboteurs of the peace. There is no other way but to condemn such policies of hatred showing the seeds of violence and killings. How many times should we appeal to the outfits not to indulge in violence and killings? When will they come to realize the ramifications of unpeace, hatred and killings?
The world condemns violence and killings. Bullets cannot solve any problem, much less our political issues. If so, why should they train their guns against each others, if their goal is political solution of our people. Any right thinking person believes in peace and eschews violence. The era of violence and killings should be ended and the epoch of peace, development and love should be ushered in.
The kind of mindset and actions with which some of the Naga outfits and Naga National Workers are operating at present will not be able to cope with or address the present situations in our land. The time has come for them to come out with positive, transparent and goal oriented approach. Every group should take vigorous steps to solving the Naga issue. Killing, attacking and slandering one another will aggravate the situation instead of solving it.
The killings and gun-fights which took place in our area particularly after signing of the Puiluan Peace Agreement, 2008 are gradually unveiling the true picture of the outfits. The public is observing which group is the genuine and real National Workers and which group is bogus and trash. The touchstone is love and peace keeping.”
