Dimapur, November 18 (MExN): The NSCN (K) today advised the ULFA to be wary of the NSCN (IM) especially after the recent shoot out with the Assam based militant group in Tizit. The NSCN (K) said that even if it declared that the NSCN (IM) cadres live side by side with the ULFA cadres and maintain good understanding with them, the recent Tizit killing shows otherwise.
“Back home in the North East Region of Indian Sub-continent the ULFA men are flirting with the I-K terrorists and supporting each other in one way or the other,” the NSCN (K) in a press statement issued by its Senior Kilonser, Athrom Konyak said.
The NSCN (K) cautioned the ULFA about their relationship with the NSCN (IM) in the wake of the killing and capture of some ULFA cadres by the NSCN (IM) cadres on November 11 in Tizit. “It is unmistakable lesson for the ULFA leaders to learn what kind of men, the Tangkhuls are. The Tangkhuls, both underground and overground are staying everywhere in Assam, specially in Guwahati, but without thinking left or right, their obsession is to kill anyone they encounter,” the release stated.
The release also strongly alleged that the NSCN (IM) cadres killed the Army Chief of the Kuki National Army (KRA), K Hangsing Kuki in Delhi on November 12. Referring to the subsequent condemnation issued by the NSCN (IM) over the KRA Army Chief’s killing, the NSCN (K) opined that the NSCN (IM) “immediately declared condemnation of the killing by shedding crocodile tears”.
In this regard, the release said that if the NSCN (IM) could ‘shoot’ the then Chief Minister of Nagaland, SC Jamir in Delhi or anywhere else in India, then, ‘what is the problem for them to kill an insurgent leader in Delhi or anywhere else in India, taking advantage of the security and legal system of India?” the release questioned.
The Senior Kilonser of NSCN (K), Athrom Konyak, disclosed that he was in the company of Tangkhuls for many years in the past.
“I know that they are very expert in committing crimes and putting the blame on others,” said Konyak. The release further added that the ‘quit notice issued to Tangkhuls by many tribes of the Nagas is very wise decision’. Furthermore, the release said that the ‘Nagas know what Tangkhul Kaping Timothy is doing as so-called President of NISC which is a very good example,” the release added.
