IMPHAL, June 27(Newmai News Network): The GPRN/NSCN has alleged that the outfit was compelled to impeach and then expelled its supremo S.S Khaplang from the outfit as he was steadfastly against the holding of political dialogue with the government of India. The outfit also alleged SS Khaplang is against the Naga reconciliation process initiated by Forum for Naga Reconciliation (FNR).

Mentionably, GPRN/NSCN was also known in the media as NSCN-K before the outfit got split early this month.

Meanwhile, informing over phone from Dimapur on behalf of the outfit, deputy kilonser (minister) M.A. Felix said though SS Khaplang had rendered his valuable services to the Nagas, “his stand against the holding of political talk and Naga reconciliation process is not going to serve any good for the future of the Naga political movement.” Felix also said that as per agreement made among the Naga revolutionary organisations, it had been inked that Naga outfits should not maintain nexus with non-Naga militant outfits. “However, SS Khaplang continues to harbour non-Naga militant groups, ” said Felix while adding,” This was another reason why our outfit expelled him.”

On the recent purported statement of the so called “Naga Crusaders”, M.A Felix said the statement was issued by vested interest attempting to derail the `tripartite talk` of June 30. He said such organisation called “Naga Crusaders” does not exist. “It is a fictitious outfit,” dismissed M.A Felix. He then said that there is no followers of SS Khaplang in Zeliangrong Region. “Those people who issued press statement in the name of Zeliangrong Region of the NSCN-Khaplang are self-styles without peoples mandate,” accused Felix.
