NSCN (IM) denies  kidnapping allegation

DIMAPUR, DECEMBER 27 (MExN): The NSCN (IM) has denied allegation that it was involved in the kidnapping of oil officials attached with Kipo Oil and infrastructure at Kumchakha in Arunachal Pradesh.  A press release from the MIP of the NSCN (IM) questioned: “where are the slightest hints to connect NSCN with the kidnapping?”  “Such an irresponsible manner of reports without ascertaining the factual truth is condemnable by all the right thinking organizations. What is all the more indignant is to put the terrorist tag on NSCN. There is no such terrorist organization that goes by the name NSCN which is engaged in a political negotiation,” the press release stated. It condemned “such a manner of cheapness in the report” and said that the journalist "should mature himself in his journalism to establish his credibility.”
