SHILLONG: The ANVC-B said that the outfit is waiting for the State Government to initiate the official procedure to work out the formalities for the ceasefire as was done in 2004.
In a statement issued here, ANVC-B leader Rimpu Marak said that after the draft agreement, no official communication was made to the outfit by the State Government.
“We have signed the draft for peace and we hope that the State Government is sincere about the settlement,” he said.
However, the outfit said that killing of its cadres at Dobu have put doubt and scared the cadres forcing desertion. It may be mentioned that a major extortion racket allegedly involving the breakaway faction of the ANVC was busted and three of their armed cadres shot dead in a police encounter at Dobu in East Garo Hills earlier this month.
“I hope state knows the repurcations that will be followed by allowing this and giving free hand to certain officers to take law into their hands,” outfit added.
The outfit also took a dig at the MLA Clifford Marak who had moved a call attention motion in the Assembly about the extortion being carried out by the ANVC (B) militants in his constituency, Chokpot.
