CCpur, October 06 2020:
The Zomi Revolutionary Army (ZRA) today issued a statement saying that it is truely aghast at the wrongful, baseless and unfounded label as abettor and supporter of rhino poachers.
The clarification, reportedly made following an Easmojo news report, also made known to all that ZRA has never abetted nor supported rhino poaching, in the past, present and will not do so in the future.
The statement further clarified that ZRA has no connection whatsoever with the so-called United People's Liberation Front (UPRF) wherein its leader Martin Guite was reportedly killed in an encounter with Assam Police on October 5, 2020 at Manja in Karbi Anglong District, as reported by Eastmojo.
"It is also factually incorrect to say that ZRA was formed by NSCN (IM) to fight Kuki in Churachandpur, Manipur.
ZRA is a Zomi Army formed for the noble cause of reunifying the Zo people with the active and unstinted support from its people", it stated.
The accusations of ZRA's involvement in rhino poaching is nothing but an attempt to tarnish ZRA, it added.
