DIMAPUR, December 8
THE NSCN-IM alleged today that there have been frequent raids conducted by the 18th Assam Rifles in Jalukie town against their cadres despite the many commitments made through Cease Fire Monitoring Group (CFMG) to respect and honour the rules. It said such agreements have become a mockery. “Better not make an agreement with the Nagas when you cannot honour it,” the NSCN-IM said in a press release.
“Through this press release we will like to tell the Indian security forces specially the Assam Rifles to behave and let the chairman of CFMG be informed through this publication that he will adjudicate his duties with fairness at all time,” it added.
The NSCN-IM press statement then said it is also equally concerned of the Assam Rifles’ movements towards the Hebron Camp. It added that though no physical confrontation had happened so far, yet, such movements if required will be dealt with, it cautioned. “Every major conflict begins with a small spark and it is our join responsibility to create a conducive environment so that the hard earned Indo-Naga peace process should not be jeopardised but bear the fruits of permanent solution desirable by both the parties,” it said.
