DIMAPUR — Responding to the recent rejoinder issued by the PRO of IGAR (North) pertaining to the raids of Kilo (Home) secretary’s residence at Thilixu village on June 3 by 43 Assam Rifles (AR), the NSCN/GPRN (Khango) has termed the accusation ‘baseless.’
While clarifying the PRO’s statement that an individual attempted to evade arrest inspection and fled from the scene, the NSCN/GPRN has termed as totally ‘false and baseless’ which holds no water. The NSCN/ GPRN strongly questioned the Assam Rifles for frisking/ checking and conducting MVCP near the vicinity of CFSB, which cannot be tolerated and unacceptable under any circumstances.
On the contrary, it has accused AR of targeting NSCN members by undermining bilateral ceasefire ground rules and its mechanism as tools without any rhyme and reason, thereby degrading the sanctity of bilateral existence and against the ceasefire mechanism as agreed by both the parties to maintain congenial atmosphere in the region.
The NSCN/GPRN advised the security forces to refrain from such activities immediately so as to avoid any escalation of bilateral existence and to maintain peaceful co-existence between the two entities. At the same time, it demanded from the competent authority to take necessary remedial and corrective measures against the erring officer at the earliest.
NSCN/ GPRN further advised the security forces to desist from such kind of unwarranted actions and adhere to agreed Ceasefire Ground Rules in letter and in spirit.
