NSCN (R) has clarified that the group under the leadership of Y. Wangtin Naga and P. Tikhak was in no way involved in the formation of Dimasa National Liberation Tribal Force (DNLTF) in Assam’s Karbi-Anglong.
In a press note, NSCN (R) secretary said they were shock to learn about the issue through social media and other platform. It, therefore, reassured all the people that NSCN(R) is a responsible organization and believe in peaceful solution to the political problem through negotiation.
“We believe in the peace, progress and prosperity of the whole North East India and Nagaland,” it said. Therefore, the question of NSCN(R) encouraging any armed group within or outside Naga areas does not arise. However, it said that if the allegation by Assam police, that some workers in their own capacity had knowingly or un-knowingly encouraged any such activities, appropriate punitive action would be taken against such erring cadres.
While appreciating the security forces and Assam police in neutralizing the newly formed DNLTF, NSCN (R) said this would serve as a deterrent against such elements and help in ushering an era of peace and prosperity for all.
