Kohima: Nagaland residents once again demanded the repealing of the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) following the shocking killing of 13 civilians in Mon district on Saturday.
The news of the death has essentially put an end to the festive mood of the Hornbill Festival. On Sunday, Kisama heritage village, which would have otherwise been brimming with joyous hosts and tourists, looked anything but festive. The venue was full of posters that read “Remove bloodthirsty Indian Armed Forces from Nagaland”, “We condemn the killing of innocent civilians by security forces” and ” we demand justice” in response to the gruesome murder.
Speaking with EastMojo, Yaam Wangsha from the Konyak Naga tribe called the killings an absolute disgrace “by the Indian Army against civilians who were just daily breadwinners.”
