Condolence Message of Late Major Ngachonmi
Speaking at the condolence service of Major Ngachonmi on 27th August 2010 at Dimapur, on behalf of the Council of Cabinet Kilonsers, Mr. V. Horam, Kilonser, Ministry of Internal Security (MIS), gave a brief account of Late Major Ngachonmi in the service of the nation as a Naga Army.
The Internal Security Kilonser recounted, “Late Major Ngachonmi who has served the nation for 24 years was enrolled on 4th October, 1986. He was a very faithful and dutiful to the national cause. As mortal human beings, death comes to all of us. But what set one apart is what one die for. The noblest amongst them all is to die for his/her country as exemplified by Late Major Ngachonmi who today has given his precious life for our tomorrow. For a revolutionary, the greatest and highest sacrifice is attaining martyrdom. And Late Major Ngachonmi has fulfilled that objective on 27th August 2010 morning at 5:00 a.m. Every single drop of his blood that he has shed for the national cause will not go in vain but it will be taken and remembered as a seed sown for the Naga nation that will germinate in the heart of the Naga people.”
The Kilonser concluded the condolence message sharing the grief and sorrows on behalf of the government. He says “At this grave moment, the GPRN shares the profound grief and sorrows of the bereaved family and prayed that God will console them and rest the soul of Late Major Ngachonmi in eternal peace”.
Narrating over the incident leading to the death of Late Major Ngachonmi, the Internal Security Kilonser V. Horam said that the combined forces of 6 Assam Riffles, 164 Infantry Territorial Army (Naga) and cadres of Khaplang came to attack the Naga Army at Namsa Tizit, Mon District. On reaching the village ground adjacent to a jungle where the incident took place, the attackers who were mostly in civvies put on uniform and thereby identified Major Ngachonmi. In a pre-planned maneuver, the Assam Riffles and the Territorial Army approached from the front. While Major Ngachonmi was trying to reason out with them the purpose of their coming in the backdrop of the ceasefire, one Khaplang cadre spotted with long hair shot Major Ngachonmi from the back. When asked by Assam Riffles as to why he was shot, the man replied in Nagamese that it was accidentally misfired. The Body Guards of Major Ngachonmi were witness to the entire episode.
The Government of India (GOI) and the Khaplang group will be answerable to this outright act of cowardice since the NSCN is sincerely engaged in peaceful negotiations with the GOI for a genuine Naga political solution and at the same time committed to the reconciliatory efforts with the Khaplang group under the aegis of FNR to bring an end to bloodshed amongst the Naga brethren.

RESPONDING TO THE ASSAM RIFFLES’ PRESS STATEMENT
This is in response to the Assam Riffles press statement carried in the local papers of the 28th August 2010 issue, in which the AR stated that ‘One NSCN Cadre was killed’ and ‘five’ others apprehended during the ‘operation in Namsa’. They wrote that NSCN violated the ‘Ceasefire ground rules’ and that the NSCN were using ‘Unparliamentary language’ on the 27th issue of local papers. They themselves stated that when they surrounded the Namsa NSCN Camp there inmates ‘run away’.
The first point, the Naga Army in the Namsa Camp were running away, which means the Naga Army try to avoid arm confrontation in honor of the ceasefire agreement. It did not meant, the Naga Army were timid or afraid of the AR. If the Naga Army personal wanted to fight it is not boasting, in conventional weapons combat 5/6 of our boys can take on 30/40 Indian armed personnel.
Secondly, the present ‘Operation in Namsa’ was there any provisions in the ceasefire agreement that Indian Armed forces can carry on Military operation in Nagaland during the ceasefire period? What did they meant ‘Operation’ we want to know!
Thirdly, the unparliamentary language for the AR writing, hard truths are unparliamentary language and killing and attacking innocent men are parliamentary language? Don’t be too wise in your craftiness.
The NSCN can boastfully say that at present Nagalim is one of the Islands of peace in the entire World. So, why Govt. of India particularly the Home Ministry instigate the AR to disturb the peaceful atmosphere at Nagalim time again?
