Working Committee (WC) of the Naga National Political Groups (NNPGs) condemned the death of an alleged extortionist who was killed in a scuffle with the Nagaland Police on June 23 as ‘cold-blooded killing’, reports East Mojo on June 29. In a press statement, the WC stated that the Nagaland Police were acting more like ‘real extortionists’ and the killing of alleged extortionist is ‘a blot on the police department’. Further, enhancing on the claim that ‘all non-local traders are “well versed” about the Naga history, struggles and status of Naga people’, the WC stated that the Police has not right to stop ‘the National Workers from soliciting humble contributions from shops and commercial centres, particularly those who come to Nagaland" and make huge profits’. Thereby, for the sustenance of Naga movement, nominal contribution cannot be termed as extortion.
