Dimapur, June 18 2013: The GPRN/NSCN has made it known that it would have no option but to open fire in the event of "impulsive action" and provocation by the Indian Army and that it would "bear no responsibility" .

"Wearing civilian clothes and raiding the residences of the national workers in the middle of the night is a far cry from the cease-fire ground rules.

The Indian army should know that such kind of impulsive action is an issue of serious concern which needs to be looked upon immediately, and that our cadres might even fire upon them in retaliation", stated a press note issued by the MIP, GPRN/NSCN.

According to the MIP, on the night of 16th of June, the 29 Assam Rifle in civilian clothes came to Old Showuba and visited the residence of Kihoto Yimchungru, a sectional officer belonging to the GPRN/NSCN.

There, they grilled Kihoto, asking him about the whereabouts of Defence Kilonser, Hothrung Yimchungru, and also the number of arms the Kilonser possessed.

Kihoto answered that as the Defence Kilonser, Mr.Hothrung had two.

Then the Indian army at gunpoint asked him to take them to the kilonser's house and raided it.

"Our cadres attending our Hon'ble Kilonser were threatened, man-handled and positioned in such manners where it looked like they were going to be shot at".

Further the MIP note stated that on finding no weapons, the Indian army beat up Kihoto and his wife.

It was informed that the Indian Army personnel were accompanied by a Yimchungru Naga who according to the MIP note, seemed to be the "mole in initiating that incident" .

This Intelligence officer was the one that was seen translating whatever was discussed in Yimchunger dialect and the army acting upon it, it stated.

The GPRN/NSCN has raised several questions such as 'on which basis or part of the cease-fire agreement gives the Indian Army the right to go on a raiding spree at the residences of our members'.

"If anything suspicious is found or seen in the movements of our members, isn't there a cease-fire supervisory committee who will look into it? Is the Indian Army so blind as to notice that as per the cease-fire agreement, some high ranking officials are issued identity cards that give them the licence to carry arms for personal defence?" .

Meanwhile the GPRN/NSCN has issued a "severe warning" to those "Naga brothers acting as intelligence officers to the Indian army, selling out your own brothers for meagre amount of money thereby adding confusions" and pointing out that they "will not be spared" .
