Dimapur, June 13 (EMN): The NSCN (IM) has denounced " highly irritable and inflammable" news reports for what is understood to be the organisation being attributed for the ban on a cement brand in Nagaland. The publicity cell of the group, the MIP, issued a note on Wednesday seeking 'apology' from the news sources for 'defaming' the organisation.
'A very unfortunate news item carried by The North East Now, Hills Hornbill Express and The Aja Daily captioned as “NSCN (IM) bans Star Cement in Nagaland” on 13th June, 2018 was highly irritable and inflammable too,' the note stated.
"These news centers are expected to be more reasonable and not expendable. Sensitive news such as that should be examined carefully in order to have authenticity cleared and rectified before publishing," the organisation explained.
"The nature of publishing such a notorious news item without authenticating the origin and source demands unqualified apology from these news centers that are responsible for defaming the GPRN."
The organisation has sought a "corrigendum" from the news outlets that attributed said blame for the ban.
"Further, the GPRN is constrained to ask for corrigendum from these news centers and other news agencies (if any more) that have published the news item, following the issuance of this rebuttal of the GPRN, so as to avoid ramification and unwelcomed consequences therewith," the note added.
