Dimapur, October 27 (MExN): The NSCN (IM) today alleged that the Manipur Chief Minister, Okram Ibobi Singh, was harassing innocent Naga people residing in Imphal town “through raiding and arresting without any reason”. A press release from the MIP NSCN (IM) claimed that the “dejected” Ibobi was exercising “muscle power” following the “humiliation and failure” in his recent visit to Ukhrul “due to non cooperation shown by the public for his anti Naga policies”. According to the NSCN (IM), one Phaningkhui Kapai of Paoyi village under Ukhrul district was arrested by the Imphal West Police Commandos at Bethany Hotel, Deulahland, Imphal on October 25 after being labeled as an “NSCN member working for Kilo Kilonser Rh Raising”. The NSCN (IM) denied any association with the individual and further urged Ibobi to stop his “communal attitude” towards the Nagas, and asked the Manipur CM to immediately release all arrested innocent public.
