SHILLONG: The ANVC (B) has predicted that the 2013 Assembly elections in Garo Hills would not be peaceful due to the presence of illegal weapons in the area.
According to the militant outfit, several gangs are being sponsored by politicians by providing them with arms.
The outfit, in a statement issued here on Sunday, alleged that a number of sophisticated weapons that sneaked into Garo Hills in the last couple of months were not procured by the revolutionary groups.
“They were procured by gangs sponsored by politicians. Through our networks we confirmed to whom those weapons were handed over and the strategies the leaders are planning in the elections,” the ANVC (B) said. The militant outfit also urged the people to be aware of these facts.
“The Government is trying to silence the ANVC (B) as most politicians see the breakaway faction as a hurdle in executing their plans in the upcoming elections. Secret operations against ANVC (B) cadres have also started,” the outfit added.
