Ukhrul, June 03 2015 :
Strongly refuting the statement of Deputy Chief Minister Gaikhangam which alleged NPF as an NSCN-IM created political party, NPF Ukhrul district president Wungnaoshang has clarified that NPF was formed in 1963, before the formation of NSCN-IM, reports our correspondent.
NPF is a political party duly recognised by ECI and registered under Constitutional laws.
NPF is a party for the protection of tribal rights under democratic norms and principles, Wungnaoshang said.
The NPF also questioned why the Assam Rifles personnel deployed at Nambashi polling station closed the polling station at 2 pm.
The NPF alleged that people were losing confidence in the Ibobi led Government and therefore instigated underground cadres to capture booths.
