Imphal, February 15 2024:
Reacting to report of the Assam Rifles rounding up a cadre with gunshot wound from near Namli market close to Indo-Myanmar border under Kasom Khullen police station, the Koireng-led UNLF has clarified that the apprehended person, L Rishikanta (18), son of L Kanhai of Naransena, Bishnupur district, is not related with UNLF/MPA.
Terming the report as a false propaganda to defame UNLF and to take credit, a statement issued by the Front expressed that how Rishikanta suffered the gunshot wound and how he reached Kasom must be cleared from his statement.
However, the security forces hid the facts and issued a misleading statement with the aim to defame UNLF and to create misunderstanding among different armed organisations.
It further said that the misleading statement was issued to tarnish the image of the organisation, which has been standing firm on its stance of not compromising with the government of India on nothing else but "regaining sovereignty" .
It also said that UNLF wifi never betray the trust people have on the Front.
