DIMAPUR, DEC 30 (NPN): National People’s Party (NPP), Nagaland state unit has demanded apology from the Central government for killing innocent civilians because of a botched-up army operation due to wrong intelligence inputs at Oting-Tiru village and Mon town on December 4 and 5.
Emphasising that it was the bounden responsibility of the Centre to tender a sincere apology to the families of deceased and injured victims, the party in a memorandum to Prime Minister Narendra Modi asked Centre to come out clean and accept the grave blunder on the part of intelligence agencies and Indian Army by issuing a public apology in both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha so that the faith of Naga people in the Central government was restored.
NPP also called for proper investigation by a national investigation agency and punitive action against the erring jawans. It urged the Centre to be unbiased and sincere in going into the truth and conduct a free and fair investigation into the circumstances leading to the firing and killing of innocent civilians.
“We call upon your kind office to institute a proper and highest level enquiry by National Investigation Agency or Central Bureau of Investigation. This will ensure that justice is ensured for the victims and their families and befitting punishment is meted to the wrong-doers without any bias or partiality whatsoever,” the NPP memorandum stated.
