SHILLONG: In what can be an indication of intensified rivalry between to militant outfits of Garo Hills, the ANVC has accused the GNLA of trying to poach its cadres by offering up to Rs 30 lakh.
“The GNLA tried to buy our cadres with offers up to Rs 30 lakh,” ANVC spokesperson Torik Jangning Marak said in a statement on Thursday.
The outfit also alleged that GNLA cadres are assuming names (alias) similar to ANVC leaders.
The ANVC, currently under ceasefire with the government, had alleged that the GNLA is in cahoots with the NDFB and the ULFA.
On the other hand, the GNLA had cautioned the State Government not to entertain the ANVC’s appeal to allow its cadres to carry weapons “to protect themselves from the GNLA”.
