NSCN’s Hand Clean on Pangchau Ambush


NSCN express shock and surprise when its name was linked to the ambush in Pangchau village in Tirap district where 3 Assam Rifles and a civilian were killed. Under the ongoing Indo-Naga peace process the NSCN will never go to the extent of stooping that low to target security forces by resorting to ambush. NSCN is serious about the successful conclusion of the peace process and shall never go for any mischief to make a mockery of its image, despite the desperateness of others to drag NSCN’s name into any such controversy to smear the name as anti-peace. This is unbecoming for NSCN at this stage of the peace process.

It may be recollected for public awareness that NSCN sign the Geneva Call Deed of Commitment not to use Anti-Personnel (AP) mines on October 17, 2007. If the Pangchau ambush is to be brought within this Anti-personnel mine, NSCN’s hand remain as clean and shall honour the Geneva Call Deed in spirit and in action.
The NSCN express sympathy to the victims of the ambush and request the government agencies and new agencies to track down or pin point the real culprits.
