NEW DELHI, October 16 (PTI): Accusing the Centre of adopting a step-motherly attitude towards it, the Khaplang wing of the National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN) has asked the government to “rein in” activities of its rival NSCN faction.
“At present the government is concentrating only on the NSCN-IM and our issue has been more or less sidelined,” top NSCN-K leader A Z Jami said. “NSCN-IM cadres have been violating ceasefire rules and attacking our members. But the government measures to check their activities have been far from satisfactory,” he alleged. “Our foremost demand to the government was to stop the NSCN-IM from attacking our cadres,” Jami said. “We also demanded shifting of our ceasefire board office and strengthening the ceasefire ground rules,” he said.
Another senior NSCN-K leader K Mulatonu, who is also the supervisor of the group’s ceasefire supervisory board, said several issues relating to the rival faction indulging in unbearable activities were discussed. “The activities of NSCN-IM are not good for the ongoing truce between the security forces and the NSCN-K,” Mulatonu said.
