Authorities omit condemning the murder of a Naga student and slip up in hunting down the assassins

Yo youngsters! No shortcuts in life, Rio raps reads The Morung Express four days after the assassination, but not a word from the Nagaland State Government. No manhunt is organized but instead the Chief Minister issues this statement:
‘Rio seeks liberal travel policy access pass for foreigners:, exit tickets for Nagas needed’

After scanning the local newspapers and tapping the news agencies for a public outcry from the local authorities and the National Government, the Naga International Support Center is rather stunned by the lack of initiative of both so the question is to all responsible authorities now is:

To condemn those who, led by the dreaded ‘Quit Notice’, have begun to commit the crimes of ethnic cleansing, what are you waiting for?

The Naga International Support Center first of all calls on the Nagaland State Government to organize a man hunt so the culprits can be arrested, jailed, charged and tried in court.

The Naga International Support Center also calls on the Government of India to show its credibility by not only condemning such atrocious act which followed the Quit Notice, but to make sure that democracy is restore. Under these circumstances
NISC wonders aloud: How can you, the authorities responsible for law and order, remain silent?

NISC recommends the Nagaland State authorities and the Indian government to:
- instantly assign an investigative team to be put on the trail of the assassins and those who deployed them.
- condemn the Quit Notice for it leads to bloodshed and ethnic cleansing

The law enforcing authorities should be more vigilant while maintaining law and order situation to avoid such incidents, Temjenkaba said. (UNI)
