Imphal, February 23 2017:
The Zeliangrong United Front (ZUF) has strongly condemned the alleged double standard politics of Deputy Chief Minister Gaikhangam and his workers, and their act of fooling the people in election.
In many occasions he spoke against the NSCN-IM but in reality he is working hand in glove with NSCN-IM cadres, the outfit alleged in a press release issued by its information and publicity secretary A Longmei.
The arrival and presence of NSCN-IM cadres around in Khoupum and his scheduled flag hoisting programme was a well-planned strategy.
Gaikhangam had spent crores of rupees to fetch the NSCN-IM leaders to work in favour of him during this election as well instead of making use of the money for the development of Nungba constituency, the outfit alleged.
Gaikhangam had signalled the NSCN-IM to be there a week ahead of his flag hoisting ceremony in Khoupum Valley and it so happened.
The ZUF also questioned the integrity of the GPRN, NSCN-IM for bluffing the people and working in favour of Gaikhangam in every election forgetting the core agenda of their struggle whom they considered as a "National Traitor" .
It then appealed to the concerned higher authority of the NSCN-IM to advise their cadres not to work against their principles and succumb to the dirty politics of such politicians who have been blinded with money.
The Zeliangrong United Front shall stand for protection of Zeliangrong land and its resources and appeal to all the voters not to vote for any politicians who work against the interest of Zeliangrong and kin tribes in particular and anti-Naga in general, it added.
