Nikki Sumi faction of National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Khaplang (NSCN-K) denied the allegations of Working Committee of Naga National Political Groups (NNPGs) and termed it ‘baseless’, reports The Nagaland Post on July 5. In a statement, ‘additional secretary MIP [Ministry of Information and Publicity]’, Pilato Wotsa of the Nikki Sumi faction stated that Working Committee of NNPGs is making baseless allegations against the outfit’s sincere efforts to bring about peace and tranquillity as desired by the Naga people. Further, the outfit stressed on by taking all stakeholders on board instead of levelling allegations against one another to achieve the peace desired by the Naga people. Earlier, on July 4, Working Committee of NNPGs accused the Nikki Sumi faction of NSCN-K of indulging in ‘anti-Naga activities’.
