NSF reiterates non-cooperation to Indian armed forces after Tamenglong incident

Mokokchung, September 26 (MTNews): The Naga Students’ Federation (NSF) has condemned the “failed attempt” made by the Indian armed forces, through one of its personnel by the name of Thiyam Ashok Singh of Kongba Leikai, Imphal Manipur, a CID/GD of the 87th battalion of the CRPF of Kambiron, and reiterated the resolution of non-cooperation to Indian Armed forces until the draconian Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) 1958 is repealed from the Naga homeland. The resolution was first adopted during the 2nd Federal Assembly held on 12th March 2022 at Kohima

According to the federation, the admission by the accused that the IED was planted under the direction of his commander Inspector Dogra Singh of the 87th CRPF Battalion while the IED was delivered to him by the 39th Assam Rifles at Nungba reveals a new low in the sinister plot of the Indian Armed forces to hijack the hard-earned peace brought about by the ongoing political negotiation between the Government of India and the Naga Political Groups.

The Federation wondered how many such incidents had gone undetected in the past and how many innocent Naga souls were made to face the brunt of the armed forces’ atrocities for no fault of theirs.

“It is convinced that this incident cannot be one isolated case as the Indian armed forces will have no qualms in victimizing the innocent civilians to meet their desired goal of creating chaos and confusions through dubious means, as exposed by the Puilang Incident,” the NSF said in a press note.

The Federation expressed relief that the attempt to cause death and grievous hurt was thwarted by the “vigilant women folks of Puilang village”.

“It is truly hard to imagine the harassment and the hardships that the civilian populace would have to endure had the nefarious design of the armed forces succeeded. The Federation acknowledges and appreciates the women folk of Puilang for their fearless role in preventing the worst from happening to our people by unravelling the evil plot,” the Federation stated.

In conclusion, the Federation reiterated the resolution adopted during the 2nd Federal Assembly held on 12th March 2022 at Kohima wherein the house resolved to firmly extend non-cooperation to Indian Armed forces until the draconian Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) 1958 was repealed from the Naga homeland.
