In a hard-hitting statement, the Naga Mothers’ Association has expressed shock over the Tadubi incident in which three persons were reportedly injured. NMA president Neidonuo Angami in the statement said, "the Naga Mothers’ Association is shocked and dismayed over the incident of 14th August, 2001 at Tadubi. The NMA takes a strong exception to the inhuman act of Captain K.K. Sharma and his soldiers of 3 Assam Rifles.He deliberately disturbed the ‘human chain’ programme being organised by the Naga women to strengthen the ongoing peace process."We, the Naga mothers, strongly condemn Captain K.K. Sharma’s behaviour and his attempt on the life of Neingulo Krome, secretary general of NPMHR. The indiscriminate firing has wounded three persons with serious bullet injuries.

Many people had been assaulted with rifle butts. This incident has made us raise so many questions once again. Why are the Indian security forces dearth of any sense of human rights? Why is the draconian Armed Forces Special Powers Act still in operation when the people all over the world are crying for peace? Why do these
Indian security forces behave against the Nagas in such a manner when peace process is in full swing between the Nagas and the Government of India?"
