Dimapur, May 21 2015 : Reacting to certain reports in the media regarding the assault of a Congress worker at Ukhrul, the NSCN-IM has said today that the Congress Government under Chief Minister O Ibobi Singh and Home Minister Gaikhangam has the habit of blaming the outfit for every ills to disguise their misgovernance in Naga areas.

The NSCN-IM in a statement said that blaming the NSCN-IM at the drop of the hat in every incident is ridiculous and mischievous.

According to the NSCN-IM, it is undeniable that the present Congress led Government indulge in State sponsored terrorism where their police machinery become tools for bombing civilian areas, creating fear psychosis, instigating communal clashes and confronta- tion in order to divert public attention from the Government's unquenchable thirst for corruption.

Demanding that the Congress Govt clarify the blast at the office of NPF Kamjong unit in Ukhrul district in the night of May 20, the NSCN-IM asked the State Govt whether it will blame the NSCN again.

"Or is it State terrorism ? Why is the Congress Government silent on this ?" the NSCN-IM asked.

"Sooner or later the people of Manipur will come to know the true colours of Ibobi Singh and Gaikhangam, the two infamous shareholders of Manipur State's exchequer under the garb of protecting Manipur's territorial integrity for their selfish interest at the cost of peace and development," the statement said.

The outfit added that the report accusing NSCN-IM of assaulting one Congress worker in Ukhrul district reportedly due to distribution of money for the forthcoming ADC election in Manipur is totally false.

"For that matter, the NSCN has no problem if any locality or group of people punishes candidates or their agents for buying ballot through money.

If such allegations were true it is the duty of the Election Commission officials of India to take note and book the Congress candidate for violating election code of conduct," the NSCN-IM added.
