Dimapur, August 03 2011:
The NSCN-IM has refuted the allegation that the outfit was responsible for Monday's blast at Sangakpham in Imphal that claimed five lives.
It said the NSCN-IM will not accept any blanket allegation hurled against the outfit.
In a press communique issued in Dimapur this evening, the NSCN-IM said the outfit was not responsible for the act.
"The fact that some groups in Manipur targeting innocent public in order to make their political statement has become a matter of grave concern.
NSCN is not desperate to make its point through such acts, by targeting innocent persons.
We will not accept any blanket allegation and we are also serious about such actions," the press communique from the outfit's MIP said.
"The reaction of the Manipur government and its CM, Ibobi is nothing but an act of impropriety and recklessness, considering their irrational opposition to peace and the ongoing political dialogue between the government of India and the NSCN," the press note added.
