Imphal, November 28 2015 : The proscribed Manipur Naga People's Front (MNPF) on Saturday claimed responsibility for the powerful Improvised Explosive Device (IED) blast on November 27 last at Somdal village of Ukhrul District at 6.45 pm.

A statement signed by MNPF Assistant Publicity Secretary Thomas Numai said that Somdal is the native village of the top brass of NSCN (I-M) including General Secretary Th Muivah, Commander-in-Chief (C-in-C) Phungthing Ruivah, Deputy Chief Tamreipam Muivah and Chief of Finance Chipemmi Ruivah.

"The bomb blast at Somdal village was not aimed at targeting the innocent Somdal villagers but to warn the NSCN (I-M) leaders who hailed from the village to stop misleading and trading the Manipur Naga People for their own benefits," said the statement.

"It was due to the satanic politics of NSCN (I-M) specially Th Muivah that number of Tangkhuls have died in Eastern Nagaland in 1988.Many innocent Kukis and Nagas lost their lives during the Naga-Kuki clash from 1991-1993.Moreover, a number of innocent Tangkhuls and Naga leaders have been killed due to Somdal's high handed politics and wrong allegations", alleged MNPF.

MNPF stands for the Manipur Naga People and any matter which harms the interests of Manipur Naga People will be countered by the outfit, said MNPF.

The outfit warned the NSCN (I-M) to immediately stop its "suppressing habit" upon Manipur Naga people and halt fueling of "communal tension" in the State.
