Emboldened by law, soldiers treating Nagas as sub-humans, it says
The Isak-Muivah faction of the National Socialist Council of Nagaland, or NSCN (I-M), has said the “Indo-Naga” political talks will not be meaningful under the shadow of the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act, 1958.
The NSCN (I-M) is the key player in the peace process that has been hanging fire since 1997 when the extremist group had declared a ceasefire. Several factions of the rival Khaplang group came on board the peace process from 2001.
Referring to the December 4 killing of 14 civilians by the armed forces at Oting village in Nagaland’s Mon district, the NSCN (I-M) said it has now been driven to the point of taking a stand on the draconian AFSPA.
