Imphal, May 12 2010:
KLO/KLA has debunked Assam Rifles' claim of busting a combined camp of KLO/KLA and PLA at Monghlam village.
Speaking to reporters at its Tactical Headquarters situated at a place under Sadar Hills, Information and Publicity Secretary of the outfit, Kh Addy Kuki said that KLO/KLA is abiding by the SoO ground rules.
He also clarified that the outfit has no connection with PLA.
Alleging that the Commandant of 23 Assam Rifles and Post Commander of Nongdam Post, Maj Ravi Tripathi is trying to tarnish the image of KLO/KLA in general public and State Government's view by cooking up such fake incident, Addy Kuki accused AR troops of terrorising villagers at Monghlam village by opening gunfire without any reason and breaking solar plates of village church and other furniture.
To cover up such excesses, Addy Kuki added, Assam Rifles blamed KLO/KLA of having connection with PLA.
Saying that higher authorities of SoO Group Monitory Cell must investigate the matter to bring out the truth, Addy Kuki said that excesses of AR troops must also be checked.
