Dimapur, June 8 (MExN): The 33 Assam Rifles has vehemently denied the allegations leveled against it by the NSCN (K) that the Assam Rifles had provided food and shelter to a group of NSCN (IM) cadres inside an AR Camp in Phek.

The AR maintained that a similar allegation was leveled on March 19 with respect to the situation in Athibung. “It is clarified that the allegation is false. At no stage did the security forces provide food and shelter to the NSCN (IM) cadres” it added while reminding that even in the past, a number of articles against the security forces by both factions, each alleging complicity with the other, have been made.
The AR reminded that the security forces have a specific charter and role to play and do not assist any faction.
