MLAs, HM & others appeal
In a joint appeal, the elected representatives-- parliamentary secretaries (Horticulture), Kejong Chang of Tuensang Sadar-II 54 A/C; (CAWD, E&S) R. Tohanba Yimchunger of Shamatore-Chessore 58 A/C and MLA & chairman (NBRM) Toyang Changkong Chang of Tuensang Sadar-I 53 A/C have appealed the Chang and Yimchunger communities to exercise maximum restraint and honor the peace as desired by all the denizens of Tuensang.
Stating that since time immemorial, Changs and Yimchungers have shared a cordial relationship of brotherhood and peaceful co-existence, the representatives however expressed anguish to notice the painful and disturbing violent incidents where precious lives were lost and properties damaged.
Condemning the incidents, they reminded that “hatred and violence has no place today in a civilized society.”
Observing that the incidents were an outright abrogation of law, creating fear and doubt amongst the people, the representatives asserted that it was “during such undesirable times, that our social cohesiveness for centuries should be exemplified”.
They opined that any misunderstanding needed to be settled amicably through dialogue, with a spirit of tolerance and forgiveness as true Christians. “We should collectively build our society so that our coming generations live and yield the seed of peace that we sow today,” they said.
With sincere hope and prayers, they appealed both the communities to exert their good thoughts into fruitful actions, adding, “Our contribution for a progressive society is the need of the hour and this should be honoured.”
HM: While expressing deep concern over the misunderstanding between two villages in Tuensang district that sparked like wild fire, Nagaland home minister Y. Patton appealed the villages engrossed with the present conflict to resolve the matter amicably.
Stating that the unfortunate turn of events could have been avoided, Patton urged citizens of Tuensang district not to make the present crisis “as a clash between the communities/tribes” and at the same time appealed the civil societies and all like- minded people to intervene so as to restore normalcy.
“Nagas by tradition are peace loving people and we are known for resolving our differences through negotiations and peaceful means”, he added.
“It is also a fact that we come from a generation where dominance of one village by another village is prominent throughout the ages as we take pride of dominating each other because of the fact that we live in a world where no external forces conquer us in the past”, he said.
Though we take pride in upholding the village republic, an independent nation in our context, Patton however said with the change of time and world becoming a global village, we need to move along with the advancement of the world community.
He further assured that the state government would do whatever it can within its disposal to protect the life and properties of all its citizens affected by the recent conflict.
He said that the district administration has been directed to take all necessary measures to curtail all kinds of attempt by anti-social elements to flare up the situations.

General secretary Christopher Ltu in a press release said that such violence would have far reaching consequences if serious measure were not taken into account to amicably resolve through spirit of brotherhood.
NSF appealed to the conflicting villages, prominent leaders and churches of the effected villages to shun violence and try to amicably resolve the issues in true Christian spirit.
