IMPHAL, Mar 5 : With its president Panghou Khongsai and general secretary Janglet Khongsai surrendered to the KNO/KNA, the Kuki Tribal Union (KTU) has been declared abolished today. The KTU was established under the aegis of the NSCN (IM) in 2006. The KTU leaders surrendered to the KNO/KNA on February 25. Parading KTU general secretary Janglet Khongsai before media persons at a location in Sadar Hills, defence PRO of KNO/KNA wing VI, C Hegin Kuki asserted that since the NSCN (IM)
could not extort money from the public after it came under ceasefire pact with the Government of India, the KTU was specifically set up only to be used in extortion. The KTU leaders surrendered to the KNO/KNA after they realised their activities lack moral and political justification, he conveyed.
Janglet Khongsai also admitted that he surrendered to the KNO/KNA on realising that the activities of KTU set up under NSCN (IM) were false and anti-social. Declaring that the KTU has been abolished with effect from today, Janglet Khongsai warned that any body found demanding or collecting money in the name of KTU should accept whatever punishment given to them.
Earlier, weapons necessary for extortion activities were provided by NSCN (IM). Of the total amount collected or extorted, NSCN (IM) took 80 percent while KTU received 20 percent, he disclosed. Strongly condemning the act of leaving the corpses of the Kasom Khullen SDO and his two staff at Taphou Kuki village after they were murdered in the most brutal manner by NSCN (IM) cadres, Hegin Kuki questioned the motive behind discarding the Gypsy allotted to the SDO within the “designated area” of KNO/KNA while the SDO and his staff were abducted from the Ukhrul DC office complex along with the Govt allotted vehicle in broad day light. Asserting that the NSCN (IM)’s design was aimed at sparking off a disastrous communal clash between the Kukis and the Meiteis, the PRO warned that the KNO/KNA will award harsh punishments in case any one perpetrates such diabolic activities ever again.

CFMG to NSCN factions : Move to designated camps
Kohima, Mar 5: The Government of India’s Cease Fire Monitoring Group (CFMG) has asked both the factions of NSCN to return to their designated camps within a month in order to make the ceasefire ground rules more effective and also to create conducive atmosphere in the State.
Briefing media-persons about the review meeting between the Government of India, led by CFMG Chairman, Lieutenant General (Retired) Mandhata Singh at Chumukedima in Dimapur yesterday, Mandhata said that both the factions of NSCN have been given a month’s time to ensure that all its armed cadres remain in the designated camps and do not move out in uniforms and weapons, as agreed in Cease Fire Agreement signed by both the factions with the Government of India.
Expressing concern on the possible inter-factional clashes in the near future, he warned the factions saying that any attacks on the designated camps by either of the NSCN factions will be a gross violation of the ground rules. He also reiterated that any group found breaching ground rules and any action to perpetrate the situation will not be tolerated but would be dealt with sternly. Mandhata also said that providing safe haven to cadres of underground groups from outside the State by any faction in Nagaland would amount to breaking of ceasefire ground rules.
He also sought the cooperation from the security forces, underground factions and also from the gaonburas (GBs), Dobashis (DBs), NGOs in execution of the laid down ground rules. Pointing that collections, killings and extort-ions are still continuing at lower, he hoped that the factions take to task the black sheep in their organization so that they do not earn bad image. Mandhata asserted that the Government of India is serious in finding an amicable solution to the Naga issue at the appropriate time.
Meanwhile, NSCN-IM ‘s Cease Fire Monitoring Cell (CFMC) convenor Phumthing Shimrang has alleged that the Government was trying to impose rival’s ground rules upon the NSCN-IM, which he said is not acceptable. He also said that the GoI was imposing the ground rules upon them in the interest of only one party thereby creating confusion in the cease fire implementation.
On the one month time to move to designated camps, he said ‘if the they (rival groups) go, we will also go”. - Newmai News Network
