Imphal, April 20 2011:
Reacting to a news report alleging connection with MLA Wungnaoshang Keishing, Manipur Naga Revolutionary Front (MNRF) has denounced the allegation as baseless.
In a statement, Leishipam of the information and publicity of the outfit asserted that MNRF has no connection with any MLA or Minister unlike NSCN (IM) which reaps benefit from such unhealthy nexus.
But it encourages and extends moral support to all those who are working for the cause of the people.
Now, the people are conscious enough to know that NSCN (IM) has been bluffing them, Leishipam said, while questioning how long would NSCN (IM) be able to bluff the people in the name of sovereignty and integrity ? .
NSCN (IM) has done business for the last 20 years.
But now it has come down to alternative arrangement, Leishipam said.
It is very unfortunate that NSCN (IM) has ambushed MLA Wungnaoshang Keishing for demanding a separate district.
Now that the State Home Department has collective evidences, the Government of India should initiate appropriate action in accordance to the agreed ceasefire fire ground rules, if it is sincere enough, Leishipam said.
MNRF also shared in the pain and grief of the bereaved families and prayed for speedy recovery of the injured personnel, the statement said.
