Imphal, June 01 2024: The NSCN(IM) has accused the Assam Rifles of using refugees (males) for espionage and other clandestine activities like reconnaissance.Males are hardly seen in the refugee camps opened in Kamjong district.

For all purposes, the male refugees have been made the henchmen of AR, NSCN(IM alleged in a statement issued by its MIP.

It also alleged that the Indian security forces have been indulging in clandestine operations with KNA(B) targeting Naga army and Meitei revolutionary falling under WeSEA.

The dubious role of Assam Rifles (AR) and Para Regiment in the name of guarding the sensitive Indo-Myanmar border in Kam- jong district is getting all the more bewildering as Naga army was subjected to a hideous attack by the combined forces of KNA(B) and Indian security forces, it said.

The locals surrounding them are also wary of their open act of defiance.

While any Kukis are given free access to move in and out of the border, non-Kukis are scornfully discriminated.

More than that, there is free flow of weapons and ammunition towards Myanmar where KNA(B) is operating in the name of Democratic Alliance Army against the junta.

Such well-planned manoeuvre is led by the Indian security forces, NSCN-IM alleged.

From closer observation, no doubt remains that KNA(B) has been turned into a conglomeration of all hues (Kukis) from Bangladesh, Manipur and Myanmar and they have placed themselves at the command of 21 Para Regiment and 8th Assam Rifles (AR) to take on Naga Army of NSCN and revolutionaries of WeSEA, it said.

AR has an inherent policy of taking inimical stand against NSCN on any flimsy ground.

This is absurd in any sense of the term.

Naturally, AR's animosity to- wards Naga army of NSCN is a matter of unjustifiable expense.

Even after the 1997 ceasefire between the Government of India and NSCN, AR remains defiant, refusing to abdicate the anti-NSCN stance, it alleged.

Ever since Indian security forces started covert operation against Naga Army at Myothit in collusion with KNA (B) using drones, frisking at Hebron designated camp to Dimapur road also intensified, it added.
