Imphal, January 08 2013:
Referring to report in State dailies with regard to arrest of two KYKL (MDF) activists and related incidents/allegations, a PRO IGAR (S) statement today termed the accusations as incorrect and baseless.
The 42 Assam Rifles authorities did not approach any locals for joining insurgent groups for peace process/surrenders, said the statement adding that all cadres brought by KYKL (MDF) leaders for the ongoing peace process are verified at multiple levels.
Youths namely N Herojit (21), Th Milan (25), M Premkant (21) N Johny (21), E Muhindro (20), M Thoiba (21) and M Oken (25) approached 42 AR for surrender.
However, after preliminary investigation at battalion level they were not found to be part of the group and thus these youths were returned, maintained the statement.
Stating that the allegation was aimed at defaming the Assam Rifles and interrupting the ongoing peace process between the Government of India and KYKL (MDF), the PRO IGAR (S) statement assured that cadres are being enrolled after deliberate verification process by AR and police authorities and only genuine cadres will be brought forward for the ongoing peace process.
