Jiribam, February 04: The Khaplang faction of the NSCN, Zeliangrong Region has decided to foil all attempts by the IM group in collaboration with the United Naga Council to coerce the Nagas of the four hill districts of Manipur in the forthcoming 9th Assembly election, reports our correspondent.

Talking to this correspondent, NSCN (K) Jiribam town commander, Adi Laona Panmei accused the Im group of compromising everything with the Government of India, including its principle and ideology.

The Naga people have realised the futility of supporting the NSCN (IM), which has betrayed its people, said Panmei and added that the rival outfit is now trying to lure the people, deceive them and shackle them.
