Imphal, June 20 2021:
Kuki National Army has dismissed the allegations levelled by one Chinnei-chong Mate, wife of ADC Chandel former member Ch Ngamthang Mate, that OC KNO/KNA tactical HQ Thangboi Haokip issued life threat to Ngamthang.
In a press release, KNO/KNA tactical HQ town commander Nelson Kuki clarified that KNO neither issued such orders as claimed by Chinneichong nor sent its OC or any cadre to M Shimoul village on May 24 for any reason.
The family of Chinneichong Mate originally resides at T Khonomjang village which is about 15 km from Moreh and seldom settles at M Shimoul.
"It is true that all ADC members under Moreh area have joined BJP in 2017 .
As known to all, they served as BJP members till their tenure", it said.
KNO/KNA in the statement also asked Chinneiching and her family to get to the root of the problem and learn to live peacefully like other colleagues of ADC members.
It also asked her to provide any proof to substantiate the allegations and asserted that the organisation is ready to give befitting actions in case of any misdemeanour.
"However, if no such proof could be furnished then it will be construed as a devious ploy to defame the organisation for want of mercy from the government in the form of providing security escort or any other related favour from the government", it said.
