Ukhrul, July 13 2014: A day after the brutal assassination of Ukhrul Autonomous District Council (UADC) member Ngalangzar Malue and hours after the State security forces raided the Wung Tangkhul Region (WTR) office here, the NSCN (IM) has claimed it has no hand in Saturday's killing at Finch Corner and vehemently condemned the action of the Manipur government.

In a press communiqué issued on Sunday, the NSCN MIP stated that "the NSCN has nothing to do (with) the killing of late Ngalangzar on 12th July, 2014 at Finch Corner, Ukhrul district by some unidentified gunmen," while condemning the State forces of indiscriminately intruding and ransacking our regional office.

The MIP release alleged that the State forces have "arrested four of our cadres along with seven people who are kept in (their) custody for various rehabilitation purposes.

Besides, many important documents relating to the administrative nature and kitchen utensils have been taken away." The statement warned that "such unwarranted actions will have far reaching consequences.

We will not remain a mute spectator and let us not forget the Mao incident of 2010." Further, it stated that the "violation of human rights in the land of Nagas by any forces will no longer be tolerated.

NSCN with the support of the Naga people will go to any extend to protect our rights and dignity as a people" .

Terming the attack to its regional office which it stated has been created to facilitate people's participation in the Indo-Naga peace process, the NSCN viewed it as "breaking the spirit of cease fire, detrimental to regional peace and stability" .

The Naga group accused "the State government of militarising Ukhrul headquarters by imposing 144 CRPC without any valid reason.

Such has been the long pending policy of communal Manipur state government to sabotage the ongoing peace process and find reason to station their notorious Manipur police commandos who are always in the news for encounter killings" .

The NSCN also condemned "the policies and actions of Ibobi and Gaikhangam selective and communal government and demand immediate release of all the innocent Nagas in their custody and return every files, documents and utensils stolen from our office" .
