The Nationalist Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isaac Muivah (NSCN-IM) and NSCN-Reformation (NSCN-R) have denied reports of demanding share from COVID-19 funds, reports East Mojo on June 19. The NSCN-R further warned that if its cadres are found involved in such activities directly or indirectly, severe action will be initiated. The clarification from the groups came after media reports claimed that “NSCN factions are seeking COVID funds”. Also, the NSCN-IM also stated that it has “nothing to do” with demanding share of COVID-19 funds. “We are in total solidarity with the State Government’s fight against the wicked Covid-19. We are, therefore, not involved in any manner that goes against humanity at this particular juncture where all Nagas, irrespective of social/political standing are expected to fight together,”
