Imphal, March 04 2015:
The manner in which the NSCN-IM turned a large number of its cadres, in coalition with the security force, against the Zeliangrong United Front (ZUF) in the recent past shows the NSCN-IM's attempt to wipe out the movement of ZUF, said a statement issued by the ZUF.
The constant lies of NSCN-IM in front of the public were uncovered by the incident that occurred at Napgoukaithi, Satudai village in Khoupum, Tamenglong district on March 3, ZUF said.
The statement said that the Front confronted the NSCN-IM when the latter's cadres ventured into the ZUF regional camp area at around 7.10 pm of that day.
ZUF pledged never to backtrack if such trends of oppressive action by others in and around the Zeliangrong areas continue, but will continue to move forward.
Asserting that the intrusion of the NSCN-IM cadres in its operational area was without the knowledge of high ranking Zeliangrong officials working in the NSCN-IM, the ZUF said that the move was master-minded by dominant community of NSCN-IM to plunder the peaceful and harmonious atmosphere in Zeliangrong areas.
Since the inception of the Naga freedom movement, the Zeliangrong people have been treated unequally, and it is an insult to Zeliangrong brethren working in NSCN-IM and they have to introspect and decide for their rights, it added.
