GPRN/NSCN (U) refutes rival ‘defection’ claims
The GPRN/NSCN (Unification) has denied allegations that its Chang region members defected to the Kitovi-led GPRN/NSCN, as claimed by the latter.
- DIMAPUR — The GPRN/NSCN (Unification) has
denied allegations that its Chang region members defected to the Kitovi-led
GPRN/NSCN, as claimed by the latter.
- In a press release, the NSCN (U) stated that its regional
administrative officer of Chang region, H Nasu Chang, has categorically refuted
the rival GPRN/NSCN’s claims.
- “This claim is a deceptive tactic aimed at creating a false
impression of strength and influence among the Naga public in general and the
Chang people in particular.
- “The Chang Region, GPRN (Unification) unequivocally asserts
that, with one notable exception, the individuals reportedly ‘welcomed’ into
their ranks are entirely unknown to us. These persons do not appear in any
official records of our government, and their alleged affiliation with us is
purely fictitious,” it stated.

- The GPRN/NSCN (Unification) condemned the “practice of
self-aggrandisement through fabricated narratives and distorted facts aimed at
misleading the public.”
- Maintaining that the sole exception is that of former ‘Maj.
Nukshi,’ whose association with the GPRN (Unification) was officially
terminated due to serious breaches of established regulations and protocols
under NARRA, the NSCN (Unification) asserted that his dismissal predates the
alleged defection, thereby rendering their claim of having “welcomed” him into
their fold both misleading and absurd.
- “The GPRN/NSCN (Unification) remains firmly committed to
truth, justice, and the genuine interests of the Naga people and will not
tolerate attempts to distort reality and sow confusion in the name of political
legitimacy. The future of the Naga people must be built on honesty, mutual
respect, and factual representation—not on deception and falsehoods,” it added.
