A pack of lies, say KYKL, KCP

Imphal, September 30 2017:
Categorically stating that they suffered no casualty, KYKL and KCP have derided the Indian Army's claim that four insurgents; two from NSCN (K) and one each from KCP and KYKL were killed in a fire fight which reportedly took place along Indo-Myanmar border on September 27 as a pack of lies .
A joint statement issued by KCP and KYKL remarked that the Indian Army deliberately made the false and exaggerated propaganda to project that the Indian military forces are much more powerful than the revolutionary forces fighting to get the region emancipated from the alleged Indian colonialism .
They did this seeing the necessity for swaying public opinion in favour of their alleged colonial agenda of making people believe less in the struggle for change and freedom .
"We need to take the lid off Indian cheap propagandas promoting their military might and downplaying our power, smoke-screening realities and bigger pictures", it said .
"Unlike India playing card stacking propaganda to sell false ideas to the people, we never mince our words.
We are not secretive or not misleading people, we are sincere enough to call spade a spade.
If we suffer losses and casualties in any encounter that we had with colonial forces, we claim nothing more, nothing less but the exact quantum with real narratives", said the two rebel outfits .
They continued that in the June 4, 2015 Paraolon attack, they lost Maj Raja Kamei of NSCN and Corporal Amit of KYKL, though they killed 18 soldiers of 6 Dogra Regiment injuring 21 others .
A column of the Indian army was attacked at Lazu village of Arunachal Pradesh on August 8, 2016, at 11 am .
"Regarding the attack as we did not confirm anything as we respect casualties and deaths on the enemy's part, we claimed nothing", they said .
Again in the evening of October 18, 2016, the special elite forces of NSCN, KCP and KYKL attacked an army column at pillar number 157 along the Indo-Myanmar border .
Three army personnel and three others were injured in an attack on 16 Assam Rifles at Nginu village of Arunachal Pradesh.
On the next day, that is, December 4, 2016, at 2.30 pm, there again ensued a fierce gun battle between SEF and Indian Army when the strike team withdrew from the December 3 attack, in which the KCP's commander had been shot .
"Being on the same page, when our endearing comrade Naocha gave his life in 'Chatong encounter' that took place on February 3, 2017 in Arunachal Pradesh between the Special Elite Forces (SEF) and Indian military forces, we wrote the same thing without sweeping what had taken place under the rug, unlike Indian mode of cheap propaganda", it continued .
It further appealed to all the oppressed people of WESEA to understand India's utilization of cheap propaganda to manipulate or influence people's opinion to stop support the revolutionary cause and watch out for Indian propagandas, which are always a pack of lies.
