"He (Khaplang) was impeached because he opposed the Naga reconciliation process initiated by the Forum for Naga Reconciliation. Two months ago, Khaplang asked us to withdraw from the Convenant of Reconciliation signed by him," NSCN(K) general secretary Kitovi Zhimomi told newspersons at the outfit's designated camp in the Khehoyi area on Wednesday.
"Khaplang is no more associated with the group. He is alone and can't force us to go against the will of the Nagas, who want peace, unity and reconciliation. His true colours were exposed when he opposed to peace and reconciliation. He had also directed all NSCN(K) members not to attend the highest level of meeting convened by the FNR," he said.
