Chandel, June 12: Strong condemnation continues to pour in over the brutal killing and alleged desecration of six innocent Naga civilians, with both the Chandel Naga People’s Organisation (CNPO) and the Chandel Naga Christian Forum (CNCF) issuing strong statements denouncing the incident as an inhuman and barbaric act.
In a press statement issued on June 11, the CNPO described the killing as an “atrocity that affronts the very foundations of human dignity and moral conscience.” The organisation said the hacking and dismemberment of the victims reflected “a depravity beyond articulation” and asserted that no political cause or grievance could ever justify such brutality.
The CNPO extended solidarity to the bereaved families and the people of Konsaram and neighbouring villages, stating that the pain of the victims’ families is shared by the entire Naga community. It also noted that the killings came shortly after the unconditional release of fourteen Kuki detainees by the Naga side as an act of clemency, calling the incident a betrayal of humanity and Naga values.
The organisation urged the Government of India and the Government of Manipur to launch a full, impartial and transparent investigation and bring all those responsible to justice. It warned that failure to act decisively would only embolden future violence and deepen mistrust.
Meanwhile, the Chandel Naga Christian Forum (CNCF), in a condemnation note issued on June 12, also strongly denounced the killing and the reported mutilation of the bodies, calling it “an act of barbarism” and a direct assault on human dignity and humanitarian norms.
The CNCF said such cruelty was designed to terrorise and dehumanise communities, leaving families shattered beyond repair. The forum expressed deep sorrow and offered prayers for the departed souls, while standing in solidarity with the bereaved families.
Quoting Matthew 5:4, the CNCF stated, “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted,” while calling for truth, justice and peace to prevail.
The twin condemnations reflect the growing anger and grief across Naga society following the recovery of the six bodies, an incident that has triggered widespread calls for accountability and intensified demands for stronger protection of civilians in the conflict-hit region.
