Taking serious note of the factional clashes and killings, extortions, threats, banning of civil organizations and serving of quit notices by underground factions, the Angami Women Organisation (AWO) has questioned the factions whether autocratic diktat’s, atrocities and generally terrorizing Naga civilians, which had been the domain of the Indian army and her soldier’s, had crept into the attitude and vocabulary of the factions and their leaders.
AWO in a press release issued by its president Medovino Dolie and vice president Thinuokhrieü Tseikhanuo termed such seeming “courage” as “hubris, an act against God that could not succeed or last.” “In the name of our nation you profess to fight our cause, we do not question how much or less, nor do we ask how true or false the claim. Yet when your deeds and means endanger the intrinsic fibre and values of our tribes, which was the genesis for our statement of belief for independence, then what culture and cause is there left to defend or fight for?” AWO asked.
AWO also pointed out that in the present trying times when the people of Nagaland were governed by an Indian interpretation of democracy where, five percent of the population who are employed consume eighty percent of the fund, the least the public deserved from an “underground movement for liberation is a just governance and the safe-guarding of every man, woman and child.”
