SENAPATI: The Naga Peoples’ Movement for Human Rights (NPMHR) solemnly observed the 37th Remembrance Day of infamous “Operation Bluebird” (Oinam incident of 1987) at SM Sha Hall, Rikhumai Taphou in Senapati, on Tuesday.

The event was organised to commemorate the tragic events that unfolded during this disreputable operation.

Z Neikuo Lhousa, former Vice President of the Naga Students’ Federation (NSF) from 1987 to 1989, graced the occasion as the special invitee.

Reflecting on the significance of the Oinam incident, Lhousa described it as a pivotal moment for the Nagas, highlighting the struggle for recognition amidst adversity.

Speaking passionately, Lhousa recounted his personal experience during the incident when he and other NSF leaders were detained by the Assam Rifles.

He highlighted the need for unity and peaceful coexistence, urging the community to seize opportunities for national progress.

Joyson Mazamo, Convenor of NPMHR (south), opened the ceremony by condemning the atrocities committed during “Operation Bluebird”.

He detailed the harrowing ordeal faced by villagers, including murders, rapes, and systematic destruction of homes and institutions.

Mazamo lamented the lack of justice despite prolonged legal battles, citing ongoing challenges exacerbated by the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act, 1958.

Solidarity messages were delivered by various Naga organisations, underscoring the unity and resilience of the Naga community in the face of adversity.

The Poumai Naga Union (PNU) and its affiliate organisations observed the day with solemnity, organising a flag-hoisting ceremony and a poignant candlelight service at Khabung Karong.

RB Pani, President of PNU, characterised the day as a symbol of Naga resilience and determination for justice.

TS Khaie, Chairman of Taphou Onaeme, shared a personal account of loss and suffering endured during the operation, highlighting the enduring quest for unity, justice, and peace.

The candlelight service concluded with reflections on the importance of remembrance and solidarity in advancing the cause of justice and freedom.

The PNU expressed gratitude to all participants and supporters who contributed to the day’s events.

The commemoration of “Operation Bluebird” serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made and the ongoing struggle for justice and peace in Naga society.
