DIMAPUR, Feb 19 (NNN): The NSCN-K has asked the government as to why its cadres arrested with arms have been booked under National Security Act (NSA) and why the same yardstick had not been applied on `detained` Nagaland home minister Imkong I Imchen. Imkong I Imchen was earlier detained after Rs 1 crore 10 lakhs along with a cache of arms and ammunitions was found from his vehicle.
“The government should reply to the queries of NSCN-K before the polling day, less NSA should be made irrelevant from Nagaland state and henceforth, any NSCN-K cadre arrested with arms should not be booked under NSA,” the NSCN-K said today.
Meanwhile, the NSCN-K said imposing of Indian election law is flatly rejected by the outfit because NSCN-K is not a party to the electioneering process.
