The Nagaland incident is set to rock Parliament on Monday with the Congress and several Opposition parties on Sunday attacking the Centre over the killing of civilians during an anti-insurgency operation by the Army.

Declaring that they will take up the issue in Parliament, they said the Government must answer what the Home Ministry is doing as “neither civilians nor security personnel are safe in our own land.”

Demanding Home Minister Amit Shah’s sacking over this crisis, the Opposition parties also announced that the Nagaland issue would be taken up in Parliament on Monday.

Reacting to the incident, former Congress president Rahul Gandhi tweeted, “This is heart wrenching. The GOI must give a real reply. What exactly is the Home Ministry doing when neither civilians nor security personnel are safe in our own land?”

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee demanded a thorough investigation into the incident which took place in a district along the border with Myanmar. “Worrisome news from Nagaland. Heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families. I pray for the speedy recovery of those who were injured. We must ensure a thorough probe into the incident and ensure that all victims get justice,” Banerjee tweeted.

AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi asserted that he would raise the issue in the Lok Sabha on Monday. He further demanded that Union Home Minister Amit Shah be sacked. “Shah should not be allowed to resign. Only sacked. I will be giving an Adjournment Motion tomorrow in Lok Sabha,” the Lok Sabha MP said. The Nagaland Congress general secretary GK Zhimomi regretted that ultimately, innocent civilians continue to suffer and die.
