Kohima: ‘Convener’ of Cease Fire Supervisory Board of the NSCN (Khaplang) Y Wangtin Naga has revealed that the outfit was sheltering Northeast militants in the Eastern Sector as they were ‘brothers belonging to revolutionary groups’.
Wangtin also admitted that ULFA hardliner and ‘commander-in-chief’ Paresh Baruah used to visit the NSCN(K) council headquarters but that “he was in the Chinese border and not in Myanmar.”
He was talking to mediapersons after a meeting of the Cease Fire Supervisory Board (CFSB) with representatives of the Union and Nagaland governments at Chumukedima Police Complex and Training Centre near Dimapur on Tuesday.
Wangtin, however, denied that the NSCN(K) sheltered or trained Maoists. He said he had not come into contact with any left ultra and only read about them in newspapers.
He said Maoists were ‘new’ to them and not present in Nagaland.
Wangtin also admitted that the NSCN(K) has links with another ‘revolutionary group’–the UNLF of Manipur. (UNI)
