Must read

Kohima, Oct 16: Ceasefire Supervisory Board (CFSB) chairman, Lt General Amarjeet Singh Bedi, who retired on Tuesday said that the Nikki Sumi faction of the NSCN-K has violated the Ceasefire Ground Rules (CFGR) by recently abducting two Naga youths.

According to reports, the two youths were abducted by NSCN-K (Nikki-Sumi) cadres from Dimapur on October 10.

The Dimapur-based civil society groups and youth organisations earlier on Sunday served a 48-hour ultimatum to the CFSB to arrest the culprits involved in the October 10 abduction and extortion demand.

Talking to media persons, Bedi said, “However, during Monday’s meeting, the outfit agreed in writing that they henceforth would follow all the Ceasefire Ground Rules. The ceasefire ground rules are strictly followed by the Naga outfits who have signed the ceasefire agreements with the Indian government.”

Lt Gen Bedi (retd) said that if any outfit violates the ground rules, the group concerned would be held responsible for unlawful activities and violation of law and order.

The CFSB head also said that the state police have already conducted searches at the NSCN-K (Nikki-Sumi) office and various locations to rescue the two abducted youths.

The Central government and the NSCN-K-Nikki Sumi signed the ceasefire agreement in 2021 and have periodically extended the term of the ceasefire period. The Centre, on September 4, extended the ceasefire agreement with the outfit for a period of one year.

The Union government signed the vital Framework Agreement with the NSCN-IM, in 2015 and also signed the Agreed Position with the Working Committee of Naga National Political Groups in 2017.
