Guwahati, September 29 2017:
Denying Indian Army's claim over gunfight in the Langkhu area of Myanmar, NSCN(K)/GPRN MIP Isak Sumi said that Indian Army should learn to respect their soldiers those who took martyrdom yesterday on September 27 .
Talking to Times of Assam, Sumi also refuted claims of Indian Army and news of National Media.
He said while army authority claimed the incident took place in the morning 4.45, the real time was at about 3 am .
"Our elite team was on duty at that time and they fired from close proximity with automatic weapons, grenades, and lathodes (40mm) launcher.
Many Indian soldiers (almost all of them) in the advance section were mowed down or injured and the others behind managed to retaliate and retreated with fallen and injured comrades owing to natural defensive rocky outcroppings and thick foliage coverings in the area.
Our army gave a relentless chase and repulsed the intruders resulting in sporadic encounters and firing till 10-11 am until the retreating Indian soldiers were heavily beaten and pushed back beyond the border.
The injured were heard squealing and the dead were being dragged away like sacks due to persistent Naga army on the heels all the while," Sumi added .
Isak Sumi also stated that denying the death of army personnel by their authority is a clear example of dishonouring their martyrs .
When asked about any visual as proof of the claim, the NSCN(K) spokesperson said, "It's war, not any marriage ceremony with some cameras.
If the Eastern Command of Indian Army can't hear their injured solider's pain then we have nothing more to say.
Our part acknowledging the death is the least we do to honor the martyrdom which Indian Army don't.If they do then they will have to answer for illegally entering a foreign country."
The NSCN(K)/GPRN MIP also said that history is evident that none was able to evade Naga's security system.
Hence, in future too, no enemy can evade Naga's security to create any damage to Naga Army.
