The outfit further criticized the “destructive intentions” of the army, questioning the need for such action in a “highly populated area” and calling it “a cowardly act by a civilized nation’s army.”
The NSCN-YA expresses concern that such actions by the Indian army will “create unwanted situations in this part of the Naga area” and “turn the Indian Army into the foe of the Naga public.”
The outfit warned that “the Naga army will not remain a mute spectator” if any innocent civilians are harmed in future attacks and will “respond appropriately.”
