Trinamool Congress cancels Nagaland visit

Kolkata, Dec 6 : The five-member delegation of the Trinamool Congress that was likely to go to Nagaland’s Mon district on Monday to meet the families of civilians killed in the December 4 firing, cancelled the visit after the Nagaland government imposed section 144 in the affected area because of the deteriorating law and order situation.

Addressing a press conference after the cancellation of the visit, former Mizoram advocate general Biswajit Deb, one of the members of the delegation team said, “We came to know that we will not be allowed to get out of the Jorhat airport because of Section 144 imposed in the area.

The vehicle movement was suspended and no gatherings are allowed.We wanted to show solidarity and not cause political disruption.We decided to cancel our trip.We will go there after the situation becomes normal”.

Trinamool Congress Rajya Sabha MP Sushmita Dev who was leading the delegation, said, “The problem of Nagaland is deep rooted and it has been aggravated after BJP came to power.Amit Shah, the home minister, is a complete failure.

He has only succeeded in providing security to BJP, not to the country.We demand an individual judicial inquiry into the whole thing”.

When asked whether the killing is a result of the army’s high handedness, Dev said, “This is a result of lack of coordination of the army with the state government.The central government has expanded the territorial jurisdiction of the BSF, giving them more power.

The central government will have to realise without the help of the state, the central forces cannot function neutrally and properly”.

The five-member delegation from Trinamool Congress was supposed to visit Nagaland on Monday to meet the families of the civilians who were mistakenly killed by the security forces.

The five-member team, which included four MPs, Shantanu Senator, Prasun Bandopadhyay and Shantanu Sen, was due to reach a Mon district village on Monday.

Earlier Mamata Banerjee, West Bengal Chief Minister, expressed her condolences for the families of the deceased.”Worrisome news out of #Nagaland.Sincere condolences to the families of those who have lost loved ones.

I pray for the quick recovery of all those who were hurt.We must conduct an investigation into the incident and ensure that justice is served to all those who were hurt.” the chief minister wrote in her tweet.

The situation in the area remained tense after security forces opened fire on civilians, which, the police said, was possibly a case of mistaken identity.

According to reports, security forces were tipped off about insurgents belonging the Yung Aung faction NSCN (K) by the police and were following their movements.On Saturday, army personnel mistook coal mine workers returning home in a pick-up van as insurgents and gunned them down.
