The NSCN (I-M) on Saturday alleged that Naga Army was subjected to a “hideous attack” by the combine forces of KNA (B) and Indian security forces, stating that the role of Assam Rifles (AR) and Para Regiment at Kamjong district in Manipur is getting all the more bewildering.
The locals surrounding them are also wary of their open act of defiant, stated a release issued by the MIP. Any Kukis are given free access to move in and out of the border, and they are free from discrimination, it stated.
There is also a free flow of weapons and ammunition towards Myanmar where KNA (B) are operating in the name of Democratic Alliance Army against the junta, it further stated, adding that such a well-planned manoeuvre is led by the Indian security forces.
Ironically, there are no logistical constraints for the Indian security forces whatsoever, as they keep having clandestine operations with KNA (B) targeting Naga Army and Meitei revolutionaries falling under the ‘WeSEA’, it further alleged.
“Significantly, males are hardly seen in the refugee camps as they are being used by the AR for espionage purposes and other activities like reconnaissance. For all purpose the male refugees are made the henchmen of AR,” it stated.
From closer observation, it is apparent that the KNA (B) has been turned into a conglomeration of all hues (Kukis) from Bangladesh, Manipur and Myanmar and 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 further alleged.
The irony is that AR has an inherent policy of taking an inimical stand against NSCN on any flimsy ground, it said.
Naturally, AR’s animosity towards Naga Army of NSCN is a matter of unjustifiable expense, it mentioned. Even after the historic 1997 ceasefire between the Government of India and NSCN, AR remained defiant, refusing to abdicate the anti-NSCN stance, it stated.
“AR for no tangible reason considered NSCN as thorns in their flesh. No wonder, AR has gained notoriety for its mendacious troublemaking character. 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.
