Dimapur, Dec. 19: The National Socialist Council of Nagalim (Isak-Muivah) has denied the Kuki Inpi?s allegation that the former was providing logistic support to the Kuki Revolutionary Army (KRA) rebels. The apex body of the Kuki tribe in Manipur had recently urged the NSCN (I-M) to restrain the KRA cadre who are engaged in a series of bloody clashes with Karbi outfit United People?s Democratic Solidarity (UPDS) in Karbi Anglong district in Assam. The Kuki Inpi had accused the NSCN (I-M) of helping the KRA cadre.
In a release today, the NSCN (I-M) said the Kuki Inpi had ?cooked up a wild allegation.
?The allegation that the NSCN is providing logistic support to the KRA is totally unfounded and baseless,? the NSCN (I-M) said.
The release also condemned both the outfits involved in the conflict.
?Killing of innocent children and women for any reason whatsoever is against the principle of international human rights which is to be condemned by all the civilised societies,? the NSCN (I-M) said.
?The NSCN maintains equi-distance not only from the KRA and the UPDS, but also from the Kuki Inpi,? the NSCN (I-M) said.
?What would the NSCN gain by supporting the KRA, or for that matter the other belligerent group?? the NSCN (I-M) asked.
The NSCN (I-M) said the Kuki Inpi should try to bring the warring KRA and the UPDS into the negotiating table to settle their differences instead of playing ?blame game?.
The Naga outfit said the Karbi and the Kuki outfits would be able to settle the conflict amicably ?provided proper approach is made without any biased attitude?.
