Guwahati : A day after the death of SS Khaplang, the Chairman of Naga outlawed NSCN-K, Union minister of state for home Kiren Rijiju on Saturday said that, all the Indian citizens of the Naga outfit will be rehabilitated if they give up violence.

The minister said about Khaplang death that, he was the heart and soul of the rebel group and the organisation will be suffered without him.
