Guwahati, January 23, 2022 (PPI-OT):A civil society group in Nagaland – Eastern Nagaland Peoples’ Organisation – has urged people boycott the India’s Republic Day celebrations as a mark of protest against the botched operation by the Indian forces which resulted in the death of 14 civilians. ENPO is the main civil society organisation of the six eastern Nagaland districts – Mon, Kiphire, Tuensang, Phek, Noklak and Longleng.

The civil society group, in a letter, reminded of the resolution taken in the joint consultative meeting by all the Eastern Nagaland civil societies on December 14 last year at Longleng over the firing incident. The state government has not deputed any minister or MLA for any event on Republic Day at Mon district where the firing had taken place.

It was resolved that the public of eastern Nagaland shall “extend non-cooperation to the security forces” until justice is delivered to the families of the victims in particular and the people of Nagas in general against the gruesome killings of innocent public in Mon district Nagaland by the security forces on December 4 and 5, 2021. The non-cooperation shall be in the form of “abstaining from any national celebrations, or such activities”.
