Army’ action throwback to pre-ceasefire period—NSCN (IM)

Dimapur, June 16 (EMN): The NSCN (IM) has once again expressed displeasure at the “changing situation where the road to CHQ, Hebron has turned into something nasty and bizarre” by the Indian army.

In a press release issued on Sunday, the group stated that the Indian army has “gone capricious towards the public” residing in the villages leading to Hebron. “The reckless approach of the Indian army on the lookout for NSCN members reminds us of the pre-ceasefire period that we abhor to look back.

“It is being observed that the Indian army has been going about moving from village to village, at the time of their choosing and resorting to frisking and other annoying questioning. Such a manner of conduct by the Indian army is an exasperating encounter for the villagers and commuters,” it stated.

Reminding that the “unpleasant scenario” was not compatible with the ceasefire arrangement, the NSCN (IM) has urged for building peace and lasting political solution.
