The FNR said it is extremely concerned by the spiraling cycle of violence. “We call upon responsible Kuki and Naga leaders to immediately end the violence and forge a way where the root differences are identified and addressed through dialogue,” it said.
“Expectations were raised that this would be followed with a reciprocal act of releasing the 6 Nagas. Any such expectations were only met with grief,” FNR said.
The FNR then extended its deepest condolences to the bereaved members and the community adding, “We weep and mourn with you in this hour of darkness. May the Crucified Christ grant us the resurrected hope,” it added.
“As a forum that believes in values of justice, FNR urges the Government of Manipur to uphold the rule of law and ensure an impartial investigation for justice to be delivered at the earliest time,” FNR release stressed.
