Naga Club’s open Representation to President on immediate repeal of AFSPA

Guwahati: Naga Club, the oldest foundation of the Naga’s which gave a vision to the Naga’s a common platform to assert their rights brought a representation with utmost urgency for the immediate repeal of the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act AFSPA.

The recent massacre committed by the Para commandos of the Indian Army in Oting Village of Mon district in Nagaland on 4th December 2021 thereby killing 14 innocent persons and injuring many others has sparked civil unrest among the Naga’s bringing back memories of the decades of hardship, pain, and humiliation endured by the Naga’s on their quest for self-determination and live as a free nation.

Claiming about different instances where the AFSPA violated the human rights of the people of Nagaland, the Naga Club, therefore, appealed before the Indian leadership, that many women have been widowed, many sons and daughters have been lost, many rivers of tears have been shed and it is time to live in a new day without the fear of their voices being stifled, tortured, arrested and shot. AFSPA is not the answer to the decades-old problem of the Nagas.

Political will is the answer to this longstanding Indo- Naga issue. The Act which was passed by independent India to suppress the Freedom movement of the Naga people should be repealed and ended with the Liberation of the Naga People.
