Imphal, January 02:
Commander in-chief of the Kuki Revolutionary Army's NL Battalion S/Lt Lalminthang Chongloi alias Bryan has categorically rejected news report of either him or his close associates deserting the parent organisation.
Reacting to newsreport of the KRA (U) that the Karbi Anglong based NL Battalion's chief lalminthang Chongloi along with his followers had shifted allegiance, Chongloi affirming his all unflinching loyalty to the KRA dismissed the KRA (U) claim as unfounded and childish.
Further describing the KRA (U) claim of Chongloi functioning as the outfit's army chief as a deliberate attempt to taint him, he asserted that inspite of all move to lure him into the KRA (U) fold, his loyalty to the KRA would remain till the goal of sovereignty of the Kuki-Chin-Mizo-Zoumi people is achieved.
Conveying his whole hearted support to the KRA central working committee's decision to appoint Chungminlen hangshing as its general secretary after the demise of K Hangshing, Chongloi also contended that there are no KRA (U) cadres within Karbi Anglong but some KRA detractors staying at Dimapur and out of desperation had been playing truant to confuse the general public.
