NSCN (IM) involved in Dima Hasao clashes
Assam Tribune | R Dutta Choudhury | Silchar, Oct 20
Members of the National Socialist Council of Nagalim (I-M) are directly involved in the recent clashes in Dima Hasao (North Cachar Hills district) despite the fact that the outfit has been under cease-fire agreement with the Government of India since 1997.
Meanwhile, tension is brewing in the hill district at a time when the Government of India is preparing to sign peace accords with both factions of the Dima Halam Daogah (DHD).
On the involvement of the NSCN (I-M), Kumar said that the confessional statements of those arrested clearly indicated that members of the militant outfit under cease-fire agreement with Centre were involved in the clashes. The NSCN helped the formation of newly created militant outfit Hill Tiger Force and members of the NSCN even provided weapons and training to the cadres of the new outfit, Kumar said and added the NSCN cadres also came to NC Hills on the eve of the recent clashes and instigated the non-Dimasa people and members of the Hill Tiger Force.
According to revelations of those arrested, members of the Naga outfit were involved in one of the incidents of setting fire to a village. Interestingly, though the NSCN cadres were carrying AK series rifles, they used double barrel guns to create confusion among the security forces, Kumar added.
