Dimapur: The women wing of the Naga National Council (NNC) has said that in today’s Nagaland, many ‘un-Naga evil activities’ are being practiced in ‘our lands even by our own people’.
In a statement, the women wing said, “The acts of abduction, extortion, rape and factional fratricidal killing are all imitation of what ‘our enemies’ did to us yesterday.
“Naga womenfolk should rise up and oppose all these evils through prayer and actions and remove these evils ‘from our lands’,” the statement urged.
“If Naga women would give their co-operation to our enemy’s evil designs and support them, they should be held responsible for the destruction of ‘our nation’, the statement said. This is against the will of God and should never be entertained, it added.
“In today’s Nagaland, many are subscribing and co-operating with the wishes of those that are ruling over us so that they too can achieve their own selfish desires and greed. They do not care what happens to the nation. But we should take utmost care that we do not become one of them,” Veduchulu Lala, president of the group said.
“Ever since, the launching of the defence for safeguarding our Naga National independence, women folk have stood side by side with the man folk in defending our national independence. In this prostrated defence, we have borne our responsibilities with zeal and commitment. Some of us have even fought in actual battles as Lady Army alongside our male soldiers. In the villages too, we have rendered our services to the nation in providing food for our national workers and assisting them in every possible way even without proper sleep in the most dangerous situations. This situation further deteriorated to such stages where we were compelled to carry the rations of our soldiers to the jungles as male carriers came under suspicion from the enemy,” it said. (NNN)
