NSCN (I-M) has accused the Government of India of instigating a “proxy war” against the Naga Army of NSCN using the Kuki National Army (KNA) [Burma], a Myanmar-based militant group, alongside the People’s Defence Force (PDF).
NSCN (I-M) was reacting to the chargesheet of the National Investigation Agency (NIA) stating that “China-Myanmar module” of the NSCN (I-M) supported the cadres of two banned Meitei outfits to infiltrate India in order to exploit the current ethnic unrest in Manipur.
In a press note issued through its MIP, NSCN (I-M) said that the “vicious NIA is spitting venom with bewildering allegations against NSCN for fuelling the Meitei-Kuki-Zo ethnic conflict by way of helping the Meitei revolutionary groups against the Kuki militants.”
MIP asserted that the NSCN has kept its hands clean to stay away from such conflagration that will not serve any political purpose when the going between the government of India and NSCN was all about political talks for political settlement through the negotiating table.
However, NSCN (I-M) alleged that the Assam Rifles and para-regiment were openly standing out to collude with Kuki militant groups against NSCN creating a war-like scenario in the border areas of India and Myanmar.
