ACAUT has appealed to various Naga Political Groups (NPGs) to take remedial measures for two situations, which it said have angered the masses.
In a press note, ACAUT media cell expressed shock that despite dire situation of the Naga political reality, the factions were still indulged in anti-people activities hampering the Naga cause.
ACAUT said that the statesmanship of the NPGs was called for at this juncture, saying “provoking the masses with criminal activities is not only foolish but was creating roadblocks towards settlement of the Naga issue.” Therefore, NPGs creating such a situation was totally condemnable, it added.
Highlighting one of the issues, ACAUT requested NSCN (I-M) Kohima command/region to return the keys of the taxis to the rightful owners, which was allegedly seized by its cadres on the December 13 and apologize publicly. Failing which, ACAUT said it would be compelled to file an FIR and resort to other courses of action. ACAUT also extended its support towards the indefinite bandh called by ACVA Wokha.
On the second issue, ACAUT, while condemning the kidnapping of DAN secretary and for putting his life at risk, demanded that NSCN (R) clear the air surrounding their role in the incident. It also demanded NSCN (R) to publicly apologize and terminate the erring cadres, if the organization was responsible. ACAUT urged NSCN (R), being a part of the NNPGs Working Committee, to act most responsibly.
It said: “NSCN (R), or for that matter any of the NPGs should not wreck the Naga train desperately ambling towards its destination by indulging in criminal activities.”
