Center accuses NSCN (K) for sheltering NE rebels

The Centre has accused the National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN-K) of giving shelter to northeast insurgent outfits.

The representatives of the Center and the NSCN (K), which met at Kohima yesterday in the Cease Fire Supervisory Board (CFSB) meeting, discussed several issues including the outfit providing shelter and aiding northeast outfits like United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) despite objection by New Delhi. The Chairman of the CFSB, constituted by the Center to monitor implementation of Cease Fire Ground Rules (CFGR), Maj Gen(Retd) N George said at the meeting that the security forces had tabled clear evidences of NSCN (K) still sheltering cadres of other outfits.

He said there was clear evidence of ULFA camps in Changlang and Tirap, which were aided by the NSCN (K).

However, the NSCN (K) rebutted the claim of government representative. The outfit said they had an understanding with other insurgent groups like ULFA and United National Liberation Front (UNLF) of Manipur, but claimed that it does not either provide them shelter or aid them.
