National Socialist Council of Nagaland-K has expressed concern over the recent killings reported in Southern Nagaland under the United Naga Council area and appealed to Nagas across different regions to remain united during the ongoing tensions.The organisation described the recent loss of lives as “disheartening and alarming” and said the situation required collective efforts to safeguard Naga people and their lands.The group stated that mere condemnation of the incidents would not be enough and called on Nagas to work together during the present challenges.According to the statement, the organisation alleged that certain external forces were attempting to weaken Naga political aspirations by turning the issue into a communal and law-and-order matter.
It urged people not to lose focus from what it described as the long-standing political objectives of the Naga movement. The statement also referred to historical tensions involving Naga and Kuki communities and appealed to both sides to carefully consider the larger impact of continued conflict and violence in the region.Emphasising the importance of protecting land, identity and culture, the NSCN-K (Niki) said Nagas must remain committed to safeguarding their people and ancestral territories.
The organisation further stated that the patience and silence shown by Naga people should not be viewed as weakness, while reiterating its position on defending Naga interests. Appealing for greater unity, the group urged Nagas from South, Central, North and East regions to set aside internal differences and collectively address the present situation.
