Dimapur, August 31 (MExN): The NSCN/GPRN has stated that the “counter allegation of the GPRN/NSCN” to the “NSCN and one of its hon’ble kilonsers, Mr V. Horam on the brutal murder of Lt. Major Ngachonmi” was “a ploy to divert and distract the attention of the people”.
A press note issued by the MIP stated that “nevertheless, it will never condone the heinous crime committed by them on August 26, at Tizit, Namsa”. Questioning as to why the ‘crime’ was committed by the GPRN/NSCN, the MIP note stated it was “ridiculous” to charge the ‘kilonser’ who had “only stated nothing but the reported facts of the incident”. “Any fall out has to be borne by the perpetrators”, the MIP stated.
“If the GPRN/NSCN was sincerely committed to reconciliation as they claimed then they must either claim responsibility for the crime or investigate and bring to book the errant cadre if done without the official sanction of the government as was the case of May 9 episode at Hotel Grandeur, Kohima of your organization who badly manhandled and looted FNR member and Naga Hoho officials”.
