Kohima: The Naga Students' Federation (NSF) is demanding the Government of India immediately scrap the Suspension of Operation agreement with Kuki militant groups. The federation cites widespread atrocities and human rights violations committed by these armed factions.
Tensions flared after the Kuki-Zo Council released a statement regarding the deaths of six Naga civilians. The NSF rejected the council's claims, branding them a distraction from the cold-blooded torture and murder of the victims. The student body is furious about the use of the term Kacha Naga to label their people.
“By what authority do such groups question the identity of the Nagas in their own ancestral homeland?”, the NSF asked. The federation warned that attempts to redefine their identity and fragment their unity will not be tolerated.
The NSF stated that the current crisis is about justice, not politics. They argue that peace requires holding the perpetrators accountable for the murders. The group maintains that any attempt to rationalize these killings only deepens the pain of the families.
The NSF clarified that they seek honorable coexistence with neighboring communities based on mutual respect. However, they insist that long-term stability in the region requires an honest resolution to the historical Naga political issue. The federation remains committed to securing justice for the slain civilians.
