Imphal, December 16:
The proscribed UNLF has today clarified that it and its armed wing the MPA have nothing to do with the killing of L Basanta.
Speaking to newsmen somewhere at Lamadong today, an officer of the department of publicity of the outfit said that the accused Premchand is also not in any way related to the UNLF or the MPA.
The JAC which has laid the blame for the killing at the doorstep of the UNLF should give in to the outfit within four days, said the publicity officer.
Instead of trying to find out the murderer, the JAC had started blaming the UNLF, said the publicity officer and added that instead of trying to find out the truth the name of the outfit was dragged into the killing.
Such line of action is akin to acting at the behest of the enemy agents, he said.
If the killers of Basanta had used the name of the UNLF while carrying out their deeds then fitting action would be taken up, said the publicity officer and asked all those involved to surrender within four days time.
The JAC should also provide ample proof to show that the killers were related to the UNLF within four days time, he added.
