GPRN/NSCN warned that it would not tolerate defection of any member civil/military irrespective of position or rank in compliance with the anti-defection laws in place, saying “such act of iniquity shall be regarded as anti-people and traitor.”
GPRN/NSCN through its MIP stated that “such defector(s)” were not only hazardous to Naga unity and peace, but also “a threat towards an aspired honourable political solution.” Therefore, GPRN/NSCN has served a ten-day ultimatum on all defected members/cadres to immediately report and re-join their respective government. Further, MIP stated that all members of GPRN/NSCN, “who are on prolong leave or absence”, have been directed to immediately report back to their respective unit commanders, mobile commands, ministry/department within ten days.
MIP said that the top civil and military decision-making body of the group has undertaken active consideration and decision regarding the subject of anti-defection laws in place amongst the seven NNPGs entities.
