Nagaland condemns violence in Manipur, calls for peace

DIMAPUR: Various civil organisations in Nagaland, including church bodies, on Friday called for restoration of peace in Manipur.
Condemning the act of brutality on innocent people, particularly the killings of Christians, burning down of churches and vandalism of private houses, the Ao Baptist Arogo Mungdang (ABAM) said such acts gave rise to religious and social unrest in the region.
"We are saddened to see the element of elimination of a particular religion and ethnicity through the expansion of power, exploitation of lower tribe or class and rejection of morality," the ABAM said in a statement.
