DIMAPUR, May 20 – Breaking his silence after release from captivity of the NSCN-IM, noted Naga scholar, writer and activist Kaka Iralu Wednesday expressed gratitude to God and all individuals and organisations that pleaded for his safe release.
Speaking over phone from his residence at Kohima, Kaka Iralu, still recuperating from the mental ordeal he had to undergo in captivity, told that he was “grateful to God for delivering me and to all those people, friends and well wishers who have pleaded for my safe release”.
“I was abducted by the orders of the civil set up of the NSCN but was in captivity of the Naga army. But none discussed anything with me during the period I was held”, said the writer Kaka Iralu. “During my captivity under the Naga army, I was treated with great respect and hosted with great kindness by them for which I am grateful to the Naga army”, said the writer who refused to label or classify “the Naga army” as from NSCN-IM or NSCN-K or NNC or any faction.
Ever a gentleman and courteous, Kaka refused to speak anything further pointing that the situation was very volatile and he would not like to help anyone provoke the situation.
