Kohima: The apex Naga tribal body, the Naga Hoho has appealed to organisations in Assam, which are allegedly spreading propaganda and hostilities against Nagas in the Assam-Nagaland borders over a recent murder case, to refrain from unfound aggression.
In a statement on Sunday, issued by Naga Hoho president Keviletuo Kiewhuo and General Secretary P Chuba Ozukum, said that an organisation from Assam called ‘Asom Jatiyatabadi Yuba Chatra Parishad’ (AJYCP) is said to be blocking the Assam-Nagaland Road in Mariani area following the August 14 murder alleging that atrocities was committed by the Nagas.
Reports have clearly said earlier that the person accused of the murder, caught by police, was in fact a non-Naga person, one Soban Ali, as stated by the police earlier.
The Naga Hoho has made a sincere appeal to the AJYCP not to distort the facts and said must stop ‘misleading’ the law-enforcing agencies as well as good citizens from both the sisterly states through propaganda.
The Naga organisation credited the Kyong Hoho, Doyang citizens Forum and thirteen other organisations from Assam for their efforts towards bringing peace and normalcy in the border area through their joint meeting following the incident.
The Naga Hoho also appealed to the people living in the border areas of Nagaland and Assam to inculcate a sense of harmony and peace by maintaining a ‘feeling of brotherhood’ and ensure peaceful co-existence in all days to come in the best interest of both the states and communities. (UNI)
