Former state Chief Minister and Leader of Opposition TR Zeliang, in his Facebook post, came down heavily on the state government for not showing progress in bringing justice for the three murdered citizens at Lamhainamdi, Peren.
Zeliang said “While the gruesome massacre of the 3 unsuspecting souls at Lamhainamdi still brings chills and shivers, the absence of immediate action by the Government against the failure of the IRB commander and his men, stationed at the site, to prevent the terrorist act and protect the villagers, adds to the grief of the people.”
“The service of the commander, who chose to watch as gun toting men went on an unhindered rampage on that fateful day, should be immediately terminated.Or are we to conclude that the murderers in connivance with the State machineries carried out the horrific carnage.” Zeliang pondered.
On the resignation of WSH president Dr Zhimomi, TR Zeliang said “The resignation of Dr. Kakheto Zhimomi as the President of Western Sumi Hoho, comes as a soothing development and an exemplary leadership for taking moral responsibility for violating their tribe’s resolution for peaceful settlement to any disputes. Such stance should be taken up by leaders without prejudice and any sorts of ism. The silence of Leaders to condemn and support for justice is by default condoning the barbaric act of perpetrators.”
“The Chief Minister of the State and the Home Minister should also must act swiftly and sincerely minus the mere lip services. The merciless and heartless killers’ identity must be established and booked at the earliest and see to it that no such sadistic act is carried out in the Naga family.” Zeliang stated.
Zeliang also appealed for support from other Naga tribes in condemning the act. “Without tribalism and any prejudice, the 14 Naga Tribes should immediately come together as one family and support in pursuing to bring the perpetrators to justice. When hopes and peace of mind are in tatters by such barbarism in our own land, unity and empathy would alleviate and help to regain the sense of brotherhood and hope for a better future.”
