Speaking to media persons at a location in Bishnupur district today, Md Khaba said that PULF split into several factions after the demise of its leader Bashir Lashkar.
"With a desire to re-unite all factions into a single party, just as it was under the late leader, we joined MI Khan group.
"In our search for a leader capable of re-uniting the factions, we found none except MI Khan", Khaba said.
He accused Kazi Umar of being selfish, thinking only for his family without any concern for the party cadres.
Moreover, he is quite lacking in terms of education, he said.
The group led by Md Khaba also included a cadre of the rank of Major.
They brought three AK-56 rifles with 150 live rounds, four 9 mm pistols with 100 live rounds and six Chinese hand grenades.
Md Lion said that he joined MI Khan faction after leaving Azad Khan group to unite the PULF, instead of remaining fragmented.
The defectors led by Md Lion included one Sergeant.
They came with one M-16 rifle, one AK-47 rifle, one 9 mm pistol and 200 ammunition.
