Sources in Assam Police said that at a time when
majority of Karbi militant outfits were joining the peace process,
PDCK was trying to spread its tentacles in the hill District.
The source said that formed under the guidance of I.K. Songbijit,
who was earlier the hardliner leader of NDFB-IKS, PDCK has reportedly
launched a recruitment drive in the region. The source said, "Ever
since the genocide of Adivasis in 2014, Songbijit got reportedly
unpopular among the Bodos for his barbaric ways. Sidelined and
pushed to Myanmar, the rebel leader formed PDCK with Karbi youths
drawn from the NDFB faction." Many Karbi youths were recruited
in the NDFB-IKS faction when Songbijit was heading it and Police
suspect that these youths helped him to form the new outfit. According
to the source, there are around 60 cadres under IK Songbijit in
Myanmar training camps. The PDCK is talking about 'sovereignty'
and it is backed by NSCN-K and ULFA-I, the source added.

The ADGP, L R Bishnoi, said that Chinese intelligence
agencies had been helping various insurgent groups of North Eastern
India having bases in Myanmar. L R Bishnoi also claimed that the
chief of ULFA-I, Paresh Barua had currently set up base in Ruili,
a Chinese town in the Myanmar border. He said that Paresh Barua
had drawn up plans to supply arms procured from Chinese agencies
to smaller armed groups of the North-eastern region. "Chinese
intelligences have been helping, directly or indirectly various
insurgent groups of the North-eastern region that have their bases
and hideouts inside Myanmar. These groups are under increasing
influence of the Chinese agencies, and ULFA-I leader Paresh Barua
is among those top leaders who have been in regular touch with
the Chinese liaison office in Ruili on the China-Myanmar border,"
ADGP LR Bishnoi said.
Giving a break-up of the cadre strength of different
North-eastern rebel groups in Myanmar, ADGP Bishnoi also said
that while the NSCN-K had over 1,000 cadres there, PLA- a Manipuri
group came second with over 250 men. "Taking into account at least
ten North-eastern rebel groups having their bases and hideouts
in Myanmar, there should be close to 2,500 militants from the
region in that country. Of them NSCN-K alone has a little over
1,000 men, followed by around 260 of the PLA, 230 of the UNLF
and a little over 200 of the ULFA-I," Bishnoi said. According
to him, the strength of the NSCN-IM there would be between 80
and 120, NDFB-IKS about 160, KYKL, PREPAK and PREPAK-Pro around
10 each. "Two things that have been happening there is that while
the rebel groups of the region work in close coordination, they
get almost 100 per cent support from the local communities close
to the Indo-Myanmar who belong to various Naga tribes. These villagers
not only provide them food and shelter, but also guide them through
the mountainous track," Bishnoi said.
