UKHRUL/KOHIMA: Mteisuding Zeliang, president of the Naga Students’ Federation (NSF), on Thursday cautioned Kuki militants against “taking advantage of the silence of the Naga people,” while addressing a candlelight vigil held in Kohima.
The vigil was organised by the NSF at Solidarity Park in honour of two individuals killed in an ambush on April 18 along National Highway-202 in Ukhrul district.
Speaking at the event, Zeliang said the restraint shown by the Naga people should not be mistaken for weakness, and warned against continued attacks on civilians.
The programme saw participation from students and members of the public, who gathered to pay tribute to the victims and express solidarity with affected families.
The April 18 ambush along NH-202 in Ukhrul district had claimed two lives, triggering condemnation and protests in different parts of the region.
