The Naga Scholars’ Association, (NSA) Delhihas expresses anguish and strongly condemned the fratricidal killing of four Naga cadres, as well as the subsequent incidents of mobs taking the law into their own hands.
A press release by NSA stated that “at a critical juncture in the Naga political journey, such acts of internal violence are deeply unfortunate and undermine the collective aspirations, unity, and dignity of the Naga people. These developments risk eroding the foundations of trust, reconciliation, and shared purpose that remain essential for a peaceful and honourable resolution.”
The release stated that while the grief and anger arising from such incidents are understandable, responses driven by retaliation and mob justice only aggravate divisions and prolong cycles of violence. It added that there is an urgent need to resist emotional impulses that threaten to destabilise our society from within.
In this regard, the Association called upon all stakeholders to exercise restraint, uphold the rule of law, and allow for a fair, impartial, and time-bound investigation. Those responsible must be held accountable through established principles of justice.
NSA also extended its solidarity with the bereaved families and reiterate the need for truth, accountability, and healing, adding that moral clarity, responsible leadership, and collective discipline are essential at the moment.
The Association appealed to all sections of society to remain calm, act with reason, and reaffirm the shared commitment to peace, unity, and reconciliation.
