Imphal, February 25 2013:
United Revolutionary Front (URF) Chairman Lanheiba has claimed that Yaikhom Sabitri and Ngasham Dilipkumar of Khurai Chingangbam Leikai are the members of White Army of the outfit.
It may be mentioned that the duo claimed yesterday during a press conference that they were bricklayers and they were forced to join a surrender ceremony after they were brought inside Leimakhong Army garrison by one Khulem Mukho of Khurai Kongpal Chingangbam Leikai.
In a press conference today, Lanheiba said that no organisation or individual insisted the outfit to start peace talks with the Government.
Disclosing that Army and Assam Rifles are currently providing accommodation to them, Lanheiba said that their cadres are living peacefully with their families.
He said that the names of Yaikhom Sabitri and Ngasham Dilipkumar alias Kumar were not included in the list of 90 cadres of URF verified by IGP (Int) .
Although, the duo were later introduced by White Army member Mukho that they were also the members of the White Army, he said adding that he thought that if it was the case, they also have the right to get the entitled benefit.
The duo were not forced to join the outfit by threatening or paying money, he clarified.
The chairman also urged the general public to make the peace talk a success.
