Taking serious note of “rampant defection of National workers” amongst the NNPGs, the GPRN/NSCN has made a clarion call to all those members, who defected to other NNPGs, to return and report to its parent institution within 15 days from the day of publication in the local dailies. GPRN/NSCN through its MIP reminded those defectors that the Working Committee (WC) had signed a joint declaration on May 13, 2017 and subsequently on September 19, 2017 and October 6, 2017, which was finally re-affirmed in January 2018. “This joint declaration was done solely for the purpose of upholding the principal of reconciliation and unity both in letter and in spirit so as not to entertain any defection among the NNPGs,” MIP stated.
