- DIMAPUR — The National Socialist Council of Nagalim (NSCN-IM) has accused Indian security forces, including the Manipur Police, Assam Rifles (AR), and the Border Security Force (BSF), of aiding Kuki militants and facilitating the transportation of illegal immigrants in Naga-inhabited areas of Manipur.
- In a press release, it claimed that the BSF was found transporting unidentified illegal immigrants from the Churachandpur district and dropping them in the Litan village areas, where a few Kuki villages surround Litan in the Ukhrul district.
- Alleging that the BSF has been guarding the Kuki militants' camp at Molhang Kuki village for a long time, the NSCN (IM) stated that this entails a cooperative relationship between the BSF, a paramilitary force responsible for guarding India's borders, and the Kuki militants. Such a relationship, which defies logic, is a direct challenge and insult to the NSCN (IM), which has been in a ceasefire with the Government of India since 1997 to pave the way for political dialogue and a peaceful resolution of the Indo-Naga political conflict.
- It went on to say that the paramilitary forces of India providing logistical and material support to Kuki militants in Manipur is not a recent development. It has existed since the early 1990s when the Meitei-dominated Manipur government nurtured Kuki militant groups to counter the NSCN.
- “NSCN will not allow Naga areas to be used as dumping ground for any illegal immigrants transported by India's paramilitary forces from across the border or from any other non-Naga areas,” the release read.
- Further, the NSCN (IM) added that it was not long ago when the organisation exposed the Manipur Police for engaging in an “unethical nexus with the Kuki militants,” leaving no room for the state police to refute the charges. The truth came to light when the Manipur Police were found providing materials to Kuki militants stationed at Molhang Kuki village in Ukhrul.
- Further, it claimed that, time and again, it has also exposed the Assam Rifles (AR) for working in collusion with Kuki militants, as AR vehicles were used to transport Kuki militants in Kamjong district and other places.
- Meanwhile, in a separate press statement, the group informed that the Wung Tangkhul Region (WTR) of the GPRN held its Leacy Hoho Session on March 7 and adopted two important resolutions.
- It mentioned that, as per the resolutions, a law would be passed to preserve wildlife. Therefore, all Tangkhul civil society organisations would be invited to collaborate and develop the best workable law to protect and preserve wildlife in the Wung Tangkhul Region (WTR).
- It also resolved to control the increasing workforce of non-Nagas in the WTR. This necessitated the suspension of new work permits. However, existing permit holders would be allowed to renew their work permits if desired.
