Director General of Assam Police, JN Choudhury, observed that the Independent faction of the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA-I) no longer has quality and committed manpower and the outfit has lost its mass base, reports The Assam Tribune on June 3. The DGP said that the main persons in the outfit either left it or were arrested in recent times and the new recruits are not as committed as the old guards. The DGP admitted that the ULFA-I does not have shortage of weapons as it is now easy to procure weapons if one has the money. He said there was no direct evidence of the Chinese Government directly providing weapons to the militants, but it is a fact that the militants are getting weapons from China. The DGP also said that the ULFA-I has lost its sanctuaries in Bangladesh and Bhutan, which weakened the outfit to a large extent, but it still has some bases in Myanmar. He, however, admitted that the situation may change a bit if a change of guard takes place in Bangladesh in the elections scheduled later this year as the ULFA-I and other militant outfits of the North East were given a free run by the previous regime in the neighbouring country.

The Shillong Times reports on June 3 that former Governor of Assam, Lieutenant General (retired) SK Sinha has attributed prevalence of militancy and lack of development and influx in the Northeast states as a result of bad governance. Stating that bad governance has brought upon itself troubles from various sectors, Sinha said that the growth and development of the north eastern region is hampered by bad governance, the ill effects of which is militancy and influx. Sihna observed, “Bureaucracy has collapsed, judiciary is collapsing, police has collapsed and the army is not doing too well in particular with cases of scam and extra judiciary killings, some of which even landed in the Supreme Court.” Highlighting on the solutions to these problems, Sinha drew his attention to the Assam stating that since Assam is the gateway to the north east, it is the key solution to many problems like influx and Assam should be taken as a lesson for the north east. “Key to the solution is how we handle Assam as its population is twice the population of the north east state put together and strategically it is the heart of northeast,” he added.

Former Governor of Assam and Jammu and Kashmir, Lieutenant General (Retd) SK Sinha, said that vote bank politics resulted in deterioration of the situation in Assam and there is every possibility of worsening of the situation if the problem of infiltration of foreigners is not dealt with, reports The Assam Tribune on June 4. Commenting on the fact that 14 Districts of the State recorded abnormal growth of population as per the 2011 census, the report of which was released recently, the former Governor said, “it is a self inflicted wound. Over the years, no Government tried to deal with the problem of infiltration of foreigners and the abnormal growth of population is a result of the vote bank politics.” On the militant-politician links, Lieutenant General SK Sinha said, “there is no reason for any controversy. I only said that there is a former ULFA man in the present Cabinet. I need not mention the name of the person as everyone is aware of the fact. I also said that during my tenure as the Governor of Assam, the then state government headed by the Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) fully cooperated with me to deal with militants with strong hands.” Earlier, Lt Gen Sinha, on May 31 had labelled the same allegation in reaction to Congress Vice-president Rahul Gandhi's alleged remark in 2006 saying that the leaders of, AGP, were insurgents. On May 30, State Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi said that Rahul was 100 per cent correct in his assessment.

The Times of India reports on June 4 that the ex-Mizo National Army Association (EMNAA), a body representing former rebels of the erstwhile armed group, Mizo National Front (MNF), is unhappy with the fact that even after 27 years of the signing of the Mizoram Accord which paved the way for peace in the State, criminal cases against three of its cadres have not been withdrawn. The three rebels are Lalzarliana, Lalbiakhluna and Vanlalhruaia. EMNAA treasurer, C Zama, said on June 3 that when the rebels surrendered, one of the commitments of the accord was the dropping of criminal cases. Zama said the cases were registered by the Manipur Government under the Arms and Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act. The accord was signed on June 30, 1986, between MNF chief Laldenga, Union Home Secretary, R D Pradhan, and Mizoram government chief secretary, Lalkhama. Rajiv Gandhi was then the Prime Minister.

Demanding to provide four additional CAPF battalions and sanctioning two more Indian Reserve battalions (IRB) for Tripura, Sarkar urged the Centre to make diplomatic efforts with Bangladesh Government in effectively tackling extremists currently having their camps in the neighbouring country.

Meanwhile, civil society organizations, including students and the business community, have taken a strong stand against the silence of NSCN-IM with regard to its demand seeking cooperation of the outfit to stop rampant illegal ‘taxation’ in Dimapur by various rebel outfits, reports The Times of India. The civil societies under the banner of Action Committee against Unabated Taxation (ACAUT) under the aegis of Naga Council Dimapur, on June 5, decided to call a bandh (shut down strike) on June 10 in protest against the rebel outfit's silence. In its memorandum to Ato Kilonser (prime minister) of NSCN-IM, the Naga civil society organizations and business community sought the cooperation of the outfit with regard to the public demand for only one ‘tax’ payable per rebel faction. It also sought abolishment of the multiple ‘taxes’ imposed on single items at New Field check gate, godowns and shops by rebel groups. It said that the yearly ‘tax’ payable to different rebel factions should not be increased arbitrarily under any circumstances and amount payable be kept same as 2012. Asserting that no individual can be ‘taxed’ twice in a year, the memorandum said a salaried person or businessmen once taxed cannot be imposed household tax or vice-versa. It said that only authorized personnel of Naga rebel groups should be allowed to collect ‘tax’ and asked Naga rebel outfits to bring out a "Tax brochure" to streamline taxation.

Meanwhile, Union Minister for Home Affairs Sushilkumar Shinde in his address said that Suspension of Operations (SoO) Agreements have been entered with various insurgent groups in the Northeast and these groups have shown willingness to give up violence and seek solutions for their problems peacefully within the Constitution. “Our government is ready to talk with any group or outfit which is willing to abjure violence and lay down arms like Kuki National Organisation (KNO) and United Peoples Front (UPF) in Manipur. Further, Metei groups like United Revolutionary Front (URF), Kangleipak Communist party (KCP) and Kanglei Yawol Kanna Lup (KYKL) along with their factions, signed memorandum of Settlement (MoS) in February, 2013 paving way for surrender of their cadres,” he said. Shinde said peace talks are also being held with a number of outfits like United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA), NDFB-Progressive (NDFB-P) and NDFB-Ranjan Daimary (NDFB-RD). These strategies have resulted in steady reduction in the level of violence. “Moreover, the aforesaid strategy of the government has also encouraged surrender by militants belonging to various groups and their participation in the political process. The central government is continuously assisting the northeastern states by the deployment of central paramilitary forces to assist the state police in counter-insurgency operations and upgrading their skill level”, he added.

The Sangai Express reports that Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, on June 5, described the security situation in the Northeast as “complex” since insurgency, extortion and agitations continue to exist in the region. “The security situation in the northeast continues to be complex, with insurgency, extortion and agitations being the main disruptive elements in the hands of the insurgents,” he said in his address at the conference of Chief Ministers on internal security in New Delhi. Singh, however, said there has been considerable progress in dialogue with several insurgent and ethnic separatist groups in the northeastern region. “A memorandum of understanding has been signed with both factions of Dima Halam Daogah (DHD) of Dima Hasao in Assam. Three Metei insurgent groups have signed a memorandum of understanding in February 2013. Talks with the National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN) are continuing,” he said. The Prime Minister said the central government was committed to undertaking and bringing to a satisfactory conclusion dialogue with all groups and organisations which are willing to give up violence to seek solutions within the framework of our Constitution. “We are equally firm in our determination to continue assisting the states of the northeast to enhance their law and order enforcement capabilities, so that the people of the northeast enjoy the normal fruits of democracy and development,” he said.

The Shillong Times reports Meghalaya Chief Minister Mukul Sangma while addressing the Conference of Chief Ministers on June 5 expressed concern over the rise in the unlawful activities of the Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA). Sangma said, “Even though internal security situation in Meghalaya continues to be stable and under control, the GNLA remains a matter of concern.” Expressing concern over the recent activities of the breakaway faction of Achik National Volunteer Council (ANVC-B) which has even called for road blockades and bandhs, Sangma said that even though a peace pact was signed with the ANVC, way back in 2004, lack of resources to settle them and delay in arriving at a settlement resulted in emergence of fringe militant outfits. He stated, “Other indigenous militant outfits like ANVC, Hynniewtrep National Liberation Council (HNLC) and Liberation of Achik Elite Force (LAEF) have been largely neutralized following sustained efforts, but they are instigated by the likes ULFA, NDFB and NSCN who use the state as a sanctuary and passage to both Bangladesh and rest of the region.” The proscribed HNLC is almost finished but over a dozen of their cadres are still holed up across the border in Bangladesh, the Chief Minister said while adding that with the help of the Centre they too can be nabbed. He also said that insurgents from neighbouring states use the long and porous Bangladesh border along Meghalaya to their advantage. He raised concern over rising militancy in the hill state due to two factors- lack of development and thin police presence- as the ones largely contributing to the continuance of militancy in the region and the State. Demanding that six companies of Central Armed Police Forces which were taken away from Meghalaya for elections in Karnataka be redeployed, Sangma sought six more companies in order to deal with the militant menace in totality. He also called for more police and border outposts to check the militants.

The Shillong Times reports that a Shillong (East Khasi Hills District) bound Meghalaya Transport Corporation (MTC) bus was set ablaze by suspected armed Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA) cadres in North Garo Hills District on June 5. It was at around 7.40 am that five to six suspected GNLA militants stopped the MTC bus coming from Tura at Dingrepa, nine kilometres from Bajengdoba in North Garo Hills and gave just four minutes for the passengers, mostly students, to come out of the vehicle. The militants fired in the air to force the occupants out of the bus and then set it ablaze. Empty cases of ammunition of weapons were recovered from the site after the militants fired in the air. Police recovered a note of GNLA, written both in English and Garo, which was earlier handed over to the driver. The note, written in the letter pad of GNLA, said that the outfit resorted to violence since the Government was indifferent to its various demands. The GNLA has stepped up violence resorting to extortion and kidnapping in parts of Garo Hills. The militant outfit is on an extortion spree in Garo Hills even targeting the Government servants including Block Development Officers (BDOs) and doctors.

The Times of India reports Chief Minister Mukul Sangma has said the remote and inaccessible Garo Hills area has a low Police-people ratio and the five districts in the region have only 16 Police stations, which leaves vast tracts of land practically outside the Police network. Speaking at the chief ministers' conference on internal security in New Delhi on June 5, Sangma said that during the course of counter-insurgency operations, security forces often trek three to four days to reach certain remote locations. "Due to the porous border with Bangladesh, various militant groups active in the neighbouring states have been using the Garo Hills as a corridor for sneaking in and out of Bangladesh with relative ease. These militant outfits have, over the years, trained and nurtured various Garo militant groups. There is, therefore, a need for increasing the police presence in the interior areas of the Garo Hills region to improve the response time of police," the CM stressed.

Meanwhile, Khasi Students’ Union and Federation of Khasi, Jaintia and Garo People, on June 6, sought the implementation of the inner line permit (ILP) to keep “doubtful citizens” out of the State, reports Nagaland Post. In view of suspected illegal migration from neighbouring Bangladesh into Meghalaya, moves are afoot to ensure that tabs are kept on even Indian citizens who enter the state. The call to implement the ILP in Meghalaya comes in the wake of Chief Minister Mukul Sangma admitting that there was an influx of people with “doubtful citizenship” into Meghalaya. On June 5, Sangma, had said, “Meghalaya has been facing the problem of influx of people with doubtful citizenship from the neighbouring states of Assam, Tripura and West Bengal.” The committee on influx, headed by Bindo M. Lanong, who at the time was deputy chief minister of the state, had recommended in 2012 that the ILP system be recommended in the state to check the influx of illegal immigrants.

Nagaland Post reports that Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio, on June 7, reiterated that his Government was totally against all illegal ‘taxes’ being imposed by various underground groups on various items which have caused harassment on the people, but blamed it on the Government of India’s (GoI) failure to formulate a policy to provide sustenance for the outfits. Rio said after signing cease fire agreement, the undergrounds were not provided with any sustenance for their survival and so were compelled to impose various ‘taxes’ on the people. He said a central sustenance policy for the undergrounds, who were under cease fire with the GoI, would mitigate the suffering of the people of Nagaland from the unabated illegal taxes imposed upon business. He appealed to the GoI, to come out with a policy to support the underground groups for their survival, as they were under cease-fire agreement with the Centre. Rio also acknowledged that currently, the common people of the state have spontaneously come out against the economic burden imposed on them by the unabated ‘taxes’ and who have asked various underground groups to agree to ‘one tax, one year’ for the factions.

Chief Minister (CM), Tarun Gogoi has warned the Centre that state has a history of armed struggle and, so, it is vulnerable to the Maoists. The menace should be dealt with right now, added Gogoi. "The Centre thinks Maoists are not yet a problem in the state but my argument is that why can't we nip it in the bud so that we don't have to toil hard later to curb the menace," the CM said.

The Telegraph reports that the March 8 arrest of three Bangladeshi nationals in Mizoram with a cache of sophisticated weapons has alarmed the Centre to order a National Investigation Agency (NIA) probe into the arms-bust. Rabi Chakma, Sabuj Chakma and Mani Tripura, all Bangladeshi nationals, were arrested after Mizoram Police and Assam Rifles recovered huge cache of arms and ammunition in two separate operations in Lengte village near the Lengpui airport, about 30 kms from Aizawl on March 8. They had smuggled the arms from Myanmar and were planning to take them to Bangladesh. An official source said that the NIA registered a case at its Guwahati branch on June 7 following an official notification issued by the Union home ministry directing it to conduct a detailed probe into the seizure. “The Centre has handed over the investigation to the NIA because two foreign countries are involved and moreover, the probe agency will also investigate whether any militant group of the Northeast is helping the Samiti to foment trouble in Bangladesh,” the source said. The source said another reason why the seizure had worried the home ministry was that Mizoram, showcased as an island of peace in troubled Northeast — was being increasingly used by rebels from other States as a corridor to smuggle arms and also to cross over to neighbouring countries seeking refuge or training. Increased vigil along the India-Myanmar border in Manipur is another reason why Mizoram is now the preferred route. Mizoram shares a 722 km border with Myanmar and Bangladesh.

Meanwhile, in a statement issued on June 11, the ‘political secretary’ of Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA), Bikdot Nikjang, while condemning the act of the Police on the issue of Rimpu Marak’s disappearance, said that it was to prevent the ANVC-B ‘chairman’ from spilling the beans on the formation of the militant outfit by the Police and some political leaders from Garo Hills ahead of the Assembly elections, that the Police now have arrested him. The militant leader maintained that the Police and some politicians had formed the ANVC-B, a faction of the parent body ANVC which is currently under ceasefire, to take on the GNLA cadres. “We had said in the past that there is a nexus between the police and ANVC (B) and now the so called ‘disappearance’ of Rimpu at the behest of the police is to prevent the ANVC (B) chief from revealing the nexus,” the GNLA leader claimed.

Chief Minister Mukul Sangma, while admitted to the fact that the tendency of youths to join militant outfits is on the rise, advocated on the need to set up more residential schools in the blocks.

Nagaland Post reports the Mizoram Government on June 15 demanded for Security-Related Expenditure (SRE) for the State. In a meeting with the Union Ministry of Home Affairs’ (MHA) officer-on-special duty (OSD) to the State, Anil Goswami, State’s Chief Secretary said that the SRE from the MHA excluded Mizoram on the ground that it was a peaceful State. However, as Mizoram shares long porous borders with Myanmar and Bangladesh and insurgency-hit states in the Northeast, the State is very much in need of the fund like any other State in the region, if not more. “The non-receipt of SRE has hampered security measures in Mizoram,” the chief secretary told Goswami. In response, officials said, Goswami assured him about taking all steps to include Mizoram in the list of SRE recipients. Amongst the crucial matters discussed in the meeting with OSD Home also includes the fund requirement of 4th & 5th IR Battalion., strengthening of Police, Bru repatriation and of the ongoing construction of border fencing.

Security and Intelligence agencies have favoured a North-East type Rehabilitation Policy for the militants returning to Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) from Pakistan and Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) to dispel doubts that militants returning could turn out to be security risk in future, reports Dailey Excelsior on June 16. They noted that under the North-East Rehabilitation Policy, the militants, immediately after their surrender, are taken to rehabilitation camps run by the security agencies, Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) and some other bodies like Art of Living in which they were made to learn the art of peaceful living by shunning the path of militancy and violence. The surrendered militants, who are cleared by the security agencies, NGOs and other social organisations are then provided soft loans and jobs in both Government and private security as per their qualification and training given to them in the rehabilitation camps, a senior officer, who had remained associated with rehabilitation of the militants in the North-East, said. He added, “It has been observed in the North-East that very few surrendered militants have taken to arms after the Rehabilitation Policy.’’ Although no report of re-cycling of the militants, who have surrendered under the J&K’s Rehabilitation Policy has surfaced in the State, officials suspect that some of them might have been pushed into this side by Pakistan’s Army or Intelligence agencies with a part of “larger plan’’ to use them at a later stage. Sources said that out of a total of about 280 persons, who have come from Pakistan and PoK using Nepal route, some of them have brought their Pakistani wives with them, who could also pose a security risk.

The Indian Express reports on June 16 that two weeks after more than a dozen civil society groups and trade bodies in Nagaland formed a joint platform and asked underground rebel outfits to stop collecting “tax” from the people, the Nationalist Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM) has not only negated such a demand but has come out with a set of “rules” so that all pay for the “national cause”. The NSCN-IM has in fact issued a 17-point ‘Rules and guidelines for protection of the general public against illegal tax, 2013’ with the first point saying, “Every Naga and others residing in Nagalim shall pay tax to the Nation for the national cause.” The State Government however said it cannot let anybody impose illegal “taxes” on the people. “However it is for the Centre to do something because the NSCN (IM) is talking directly to the Centre,” state Home Minister G Kaito said in Kohima.

Separately, the Maoist Communist Party, Manipur (MCP-M) has in a press statement signed by its publicity and propaganda secretary Nonglen Meitei urged the concerned Imphal Urban Cooperative Bank (IUCB) officials to admit their wrong doings (regarding recruitment) and try not to repeat it again instead of trying to cover it up, reports Kanglaonline on June 17. The recent clarification made by the bank officials in regard with the issue of the recruitment of 17 staffs of the bank where eight is allegedly near relatives of eight officials of the bank, is an attempt to fool the people when it is crystal clear that there are irregularities in the recruitment process, the statement maintained. While pointing out various irregularities in the promotion, transfer and recruitment of staffs in the bank, the statement further said that if the officials concerned instead of admitting their wrong doings try to cover it up, MCP-M will bring out more such irregularities of the past including an earlier issue of recruitment of 23 staffs of the bank.

The Kuki State Demand Committee on June 16 threatened to resume its agitation unless the Centre begins a political dialogue immediately with the Kuki militant groups that had signed a suspension of operations agreement, reports The Telegraph. The demand committee had suspended its public blockade imposed along all the lifelines of Manipur from February 28, 2013 in view of the High School Leaving Certificate Examination and Higher Secondary School Examination. “The committee has now decided to intensify the temporarily-suspended general strike in Kuki-dominated areas of Manipur if the delaying tactics of the government continue. Moreover, the general strike will be followed by a economic blockade as well,” George Guite, the information secretary of the demand committee, said in a release today. The Kuki militant groups are demanding the creation of a separate Kuki state out of Manipur. The demand committee’s proposed Kuki state comprises Churachadnpur District, and portions of the four hill Districts of Chandel, Ukhrul, Senapati and Tamenglong, with an area of 12,958 square km, more than half of the state’s geographical area.

The recommendations of the Task Force formed by the State Government to study the problem of Maoism in Assam suggested the need for looking into both security and development fronts to deal with the growth of Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) militancy, reports Assam Tribune on June 17. The task force also recommended that commando battalion of the Assam Police should be converted into a well-knit offensive unit called the Assam Police Commando Organization. The Task Force, headed by Additional Director General of Police (ADGP), BJ Mahanta, said that the Assam Police Commando Organization should have strength of two battalions and the battalion should include the Black Panthers [jungle warfare], Assam Police rangers for operations by small teams and Beerangana [the woman commando unit]. All these three units will require specialized training which will have to be conducted in the Commando organization location itself. The Black Panthers will have to be groomed strictly in the line of the Greyhounds of Andhra Pradesh. The Task Force suggested that the structure of the Police Stations, Police outposts and border Police outposts (BOPS) should be constructed as per Andhra Pradesh model with eight feet high wall, double-story building and sentry posts at the top and in front of the buildings. The report pointed out that the Maoists in Assam are not banned under any Act of the Government and that this problem could be countered with independent State legislations.

The Shillong Times reports that a 12-hour Bandh (shut down strike) enforced by the Action Committee Against Unabated Taxation (ACAUT) under the aegis of the Naga Council in Dimapur, the Kohima Town Traders Union (KTTU) and Zunheboto Chamber of Commerce and Industries (ZCCI) respectively, has affected the normal life of this capital town of Kohima, Dimapur and Tuensang since June 18 morning. According to sources, all business establishments and shops, including medicine shops, chemists and druggists are keeping their shutters down to protest against ‘unabated taxation’ in Nagaland. This is the first stage of agitation as planned by the ACAUT. Schools and other educational institutions in Kohima, Dimapur and Tuensang also remain closed to show solidarity. ACAUT has reasserted that its symbolic Dimapur bandh on June 18 would be “just a pointer of things to come” unless “some concerned organisations and authorities” accede to its demands to curb unabated taxation through dealership and multiple taxations by undergrounds (UGs) causing price rise, addas Nagaland Post. It reiterated that it was the prerogative of the State government to check them.

The Shillong Times reports that a team of Mizoram Government officials would visit Bru relief camps in Kanchanpur sub-division in North Tripura District ahead of the resumption of repatriation of the Bru refugees. The team, headed by Joint Secretary for Home Lalbiakzama, would visit three camps along with Tripura government officials on June 20 and the other three camps on June 21 (today). Lalbiakzama told over phone from Kanchanpur that the officials from Mizoram and Tripura would apprise the refugees of plans to repatriate them to Mizoram. He said the schedule for resumption of the repatriation would be worked out after the team submitted its report to the Government. The proposed resumption of repatriation process during the last part of May was scuttled by “absence of conducive atmosphere” in the Mizoram-Tripura border areas. The people of the Bru community were displaced from Mizoram following ethnic conflicts with the Mizos in 1997 and since then they were sheltered in six camps at Kanchanpur in North Tripura district.

Nagaland Post reports that suspected tribal militants abducted the supervisor of a firm working on a railway project in Meghalaya’s North Garo Hills District, bordering Assam. J.

Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) wrote to the Nagaland Chief Secretary to stop Nationalist Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isac Muivah (NSCN-IM) from levying ‘tax’ on common people, saying that such action by the Naga insurgent group is leading to price rise of commodities and this cannot be allowed to continue, reports Sangai Express. In the letter, the MHA stated that there has been a serious situation following NSCN-IM’s declaration that every Naga as well as others residing in ‘Nagalim’ shall ‘pay tax’. MHA Director (North-East ), J P N Singh, in his letter, said NSCN-IM has been arrogating itself the responsibility of finding a political solution on behalf of Nagas in general of which it clearly is not the sole representative. The outfit is not only not observing the ceasefire ground rules, but also violating all the existing laws rules and regulations, he said. Singh further said, “You may kindly agree that this is a situation in which the mere argument of having ceasefire with the government of India is no excuse to go on a rampage and destroy the public confidence in the state. It is high time that the state takes its responsibility seriously and starts looking after the interest of its subjects. Unbearable pressure of rising prices cannot be allowed to continue adding to the miseries of the people. You are requested to initiate measures to stop what is going on and also ensure security of the office bearers of ACAUT (Action Committee against Unabated Taxation).” The NSCN-IM has justified the system of ‘taxation’ and asserted that it was the only outfit mandated by the Nagas for holding political talks with the Government of India for resolving the Naga political issue.

on June 30 that two Naga outfits in Manipur - Manipur Naga Revolutionary Front (MNRF) and United Naga People’s Council (UNPC) have merged together and formed a new group called Manipur Naga People’s Front (MNPF) with an armed wing - Manipur Naga People’s Army (MNPA). According to a statement issued by MNPF deputy publicity secretary, Thomas Numai, with the formation of MNPF, MNRF and UNPC have been dissolved. The statement said that a decision to dissolve the two outfits and work together under one banner was adopted at a joint meeting of the two parties convened on March 11. The statement further asserted that “Time has come for us to struggle together to achieve our common goal by surrendering one’s own interest and give room to accommodate other parallel bodies.” “We encompass all parties for a united struggle which is our loud and clear message. We shall not demoralize our political vision by remaining aloof like the organizations under cease-fire pacts whose interest is either higher autonomy or economic package.” “Their submissive policy at the cost of people’s blood and sweat has demoralized the revolutionary spirit, thereby losing people’s confidence at large. Taking serious note of the importance of people, MNPF has adopted the motto “For the People,” the statement added. The statement went on to say that the principal objective of the MNPF was restoration of sovereignty and right to self-determination. Another objective of the newly established outfit is bridging the gap of all revolutionary groups of the region - Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Manipur, Nagaland and Tripura. The outfit promises to eliminate social and economic disparity among different communities and strengthen “cohesion and revolutionary unity” for a strong and vibrant federal administrative system. The MNPF statement informed that John Francis Kashung is the chairman of MNPF’s first batch of central committee. Other members of the committee include Wilson Tao (general secretary), Pairson Shily (home secretary), Isaac Shang (finance secretary), Jack Kapso (organization secretary), Thomas Numai (deputy finance and deputy publicity secretary) and Ahao Jajo (deputy defence secretary). MNPF has been reportedly formed after a minute discussion on “the shaky condition of the present Naga revolutionaries.”
