The UNC (United Naga Council) also raised questions over the selective move by the BJP led state government in removing disturbed area status under AFSPA only from valley areas.
Following the withdrawal of the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) from certain parts of the state, Nagaland Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio on Monday said that the total abolition of AFSPA may take time, but the partial abolishment is a test.
Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio said all stakeholders had appealed for the "abolishment of the draconian law, AFSPA", and the Government of India has finally heard the appeals of the people.
The UNC urges the Government of India to desist from indulging in usual discriminatory action and repeal this outdated draconian law wherever it is being promulgated.
Following the input about the movement of armed rebels, an ambush was laid by the special forces but mistakenly, the forces opened fire on the two villagers.
