Seven days earlier, in the Mon district of Nagaland, six civilians were killed in an unsuccessful Army operation. Seven more were killed in retaliatory clashes between security personnel and locals, in which one soldier was killed.

In a massive protest today in Mon, furious residents have demanded an apology from Home Minister Amit Shah for his “false” and “fabricated” statements on the incident in Parliament this week.

He said, “We are seeking justice… We don’t need sympathy. It is unfortunate to break the truth. Home Minister Amit Shah’s statement in Parliament is confusing the world with misinformation. He should be withdrawn immediately. We demand.” His apology,” said Honang Konyak, the union’s vice president.

“We will not rest till the 14 Konyak youths who were killed get justice,” he said.
