Former Lok Sabha Speaker and National People’s Party (NPP) leader PA Sangma, on February 2, demanded an independent and impartial probe into the killing of four ANVC-B cadres including the ‘political secretary’ of the outfit, Ajaju Marak, who revealed the alleged nexus of Chief Minister, Mukul Sangma with ANVC-B militants, reports The Shillong Times. While condemning the nexus between Mukul and militant outfits, Sangma questioned the suspicious manner in which four ANVC-B militants were killed in the encounter at Daren Agal in West Garo Hills on January 11. “Ajaju Marak, Political Secretary of ANVC-B who had recently disclosed the links between Mukul Sangma and the ANVC-B was also reportedly one of the militants killed in the Police encounter, and this is being perceived by the people of Garo Hills as a bid to silence Ajaju Marak once and for all”, the NPP leader said.

The allegation, if thoroughly probed, would prove how the ANVC-B was formed. It was the weapons seized from other militant groups which were handed over to the ANVC-B, the UALA had alleged.

The Shillong Times reports on February 13 that a group of senior Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA) leaders led by former ‘finance secretary’ Reding T Sangma have broken away from the outfit’s military ‘chief’ Sohan D Shira and formed their own organization christening it A’chik Songna An’pachakgipa Kotok (ASAK). On February 12, the ‘commander-in-chief’ (C-in-C) of the new outfit, Reding T Sangma, gave in detail the reasons for parting ways with Sohan D Shira. “We unitedly formed the GNLA to fight for Garoland and protect our people from oppression. We wanted to take the cause of Garos to a higher level. Over the years GNLA gained from strength to strength until Sohan broke all rules of the organization and began to take decisions without consulting the other leaders of the group” said Reding T Sangma. He blamed Sohan for the fratricidal killings within the GNLA group and for targeting other ‘revolutionary’ outfits like the Breakaway faction of Achik National Volunteer Council (ANVC-B) and the Norrok X Momin led United A'chik Liberation Army (UALA) making them sworn enemies. The new outfit ASAK, which literally means the vanguards of Garoland has named its headquarters as Grikram. It has also roped in another senior GNLA militant leader known as Jack Marak who has now been made the ‘finance secretary’ of ASAK. Besides Reding and Jack, the other senior leaders of the group are ‘chairman’ Cheo Challang, ‘deputy C-in-C’ Chue Dilsrang Sangma, ‘secretary’ Dura Matgrik and ‘joint secretary’ Anmisil.
