Naga National Workers People Support Group clarifies news item

The Naga National Workers People Support Group is once again shocked to see our name (PSG) published in the Morung Express on page 5, under the title “Kidnapped official freed” in which the PSG was named as behind the abduction of a senior official of the Indian Oil Corporation, KI Singh at gun point for a demand of Rs. one crore while he was returning home from office Friday night.
Therefore, in this regard, the NNWPSG do hereby very clearly clarify to the family members of KI Singh and as well as to all the general public that we have no hand in the abduction. And also, as now Mr. KI Singh was reported to have being released by his abductors, we would like to request him to clearly tell to the general public who his abductors are and clear our name. If he or his family members or the IOC staff still think that his abductors are the NNWPSG, kindly tell us or to the general public in detail about his abduction and detention, and also what were the exact words his abductors talked with him during his detention and negotiation about the money, or if Mr. KI Singh or any of his men recognized any of his abductors to be from PSG cadres.
Earlier, in the month of November, 2010, the good name of PSG was tarnished when some miscreants abducted Dr. S. Singsit, PCCF, Govt. of Manipur, taking the help of some men supposed to be from UKLF (MC) group at Keithelmanbi, later the NSCN IM blamed the PSG for the abduction.
We would like to inform to the general public that the NNWPSG was formed by members of former NSCN IM cadres. We parted ways with the NSCN IM because we no longer believe, serving the Nation in the style of suppressing, oppressing and intimidating people. We pray and work for the Naga Reconciliation and Unity and as well as for the peace and freedom of all people. We also will not co-operate or have link with any revolutionary group in the South-East Himalayan Region who indulges in anti-people activities. We are “PEOPLE SUPPORT GROUP”, therefore, we will listen and do what the people say. If our coming out and offering ourselves to work together with the people is becoming a burden instead of helping and encouraging the people, we offer ourselves to cease to exist “NNWPSG” if the people wish. But, remember that, abduction, extortion, intimidation etc. were/are never the works of NNWPSG.                                     
We would also like to inform to the general public that since NNWPSG is no powerful in intimidating people and amassing wealth for which of these two, most of the unprincipled youth were attracted to join UGs. Some who joined us without knowing what we stand for and thus went outside the group’s discipline were again lured by the NSCN IM to join them. In the case of the abduction of  KI Singh, we suspected that it might the hands of some criminal youth or by those former PSG cadres who had already deserted us to join the NSCN IM, that they must have been working in nexus with a non-Naga underground group to amass wealth, taking advantage of our name, since, the NNWPSG is a non- political body and we never take stringent action upon anybody and taking the name of other UG groups will risk their life.
