DIMAPUR, AUGUST 17 (MExN): The NSCN (I-M) today denied its involvement in the killing of three executive members of the autonomous council, North Cachar Hills, Assam on June 4 as reported by NETV. An MIP release from the organization said they had no standing dispute with late Purnendu Langthasa, chief executive member, late Nindu Langthasa and late Ajit Bodo, deputy chairman, of the autonomous council, to warrant ‘death sentences.’
The NSCN (I-M) also hit out at ‘DIHCHAM’, a local daily based in Tamenglong for printing a report that said the Nagas’ 61st Independence Day in Hebron will be graced by the organization’s Chairman, Isak Chishi Swu “as the Chief Guest hoisting the Indian Flag.”
“This is a mockery of journalism and nothing else. Confusing reports also appeared about Gen. (Retd) VS Atem, Emissary to the Collective Leadership and Dy. Kilonser of Information and Publicity D Stephen as Chief Guests at Kohima (VP Battalion) and Bunning, Tamenglong (NP Battalion) respectively. What is the hurry for ‘DIHCHAM’ to come out with such report unrelated to facts?”
