Imphal, November 13:
Information and publicity of KNO/KLA has clarified that the news items under the caption 'KLA warns, bans published on Nov 12 based on the statements issued by Addi Kuki and another by Malsawn Kuki in the name of KNO/KLA were false, baseless and reactionary.
A statement signed by Armstrong Gangte said KLO/KLA has already disbanded and KLA is now one of the armed wing of the KNO.
Disbanded KLO/KLA is an organised gangsters who work just for extortion, intimidation and politics.
Therefore, general public should be on guard against this reactionary force, Armstrong said.
As to the allegation of one Yamthong, a former candidate of Saikul A/C using KLA cadres, Armstrong said it is nothing but a figment of imagination since Yamthong is not known to us or be a party of any UG outfit.
Public must keep in mind that Addi Kuki, Malsawn Kuki and Elwin are extorting money in the name of the disbanded KLO/KLA, Armstrong said, adding that the internal affairs task force of KLO/KLA has found out that it was Addi Kuki and his gang member who extorted money from Tribal Development and other Depts in the name of disbanded KLO/KLA.
Addi Kuki and Lunpu alias Elwin had actually extorted money from he Director of TD Dept recently.
Offering martyr's salute to Khuplam Hangshing, the founding leader of KRA/ROCK who was killed by unknown gunmen at New Delhi on Nov 11, KNO/KLA hailed the departed leader as a brave and courageous son of the Kuki Nation.
