Kohima, August 01:
Worried over the growing differences between the NSCNIM and two organizations of the Sumi (Sema) Naga tribe, Naga Hoho has appealed to the two Sumi organizations Sumi Hoho and Western Sumi Hoho and the NSCN (IM) to sit across the table and thrash out all differences in the spirit of mutual respect and reciprocation without further delay.
Nagaland based newspapers reported on Friday that Naga Hoho president Keviletuo Kiewhuo and general secretary P Chuba Ozukum in a statement, has also conveyed their willingness to facilitate with all ways and means that are constructive towards bringing amicable solution between the NSCN (IM) and the Sumis.
Expressing concern over the banning of the two Sumi organizations by NSCN (I-M) authority due to certain apprehensions between the two parties, Naga Hoho said it was the bounden duty of the Hoho to protect and safeguard the welfare of every constituent unit of the Naga Hoho.
The Naga Hoho felt that the decision of the NSCN (IM) might have erupted after going through many odds especially the aftermath of the formation of "Unification group" under the leadership of breakaway group of NSCN (IM) which was very unfortunate for NSCN (IM).
''Apart from other bone of contentions against the two Sumi organizations as maintained by NSCN (I-M), the Naga Hoho have been trying to understand the reason behind the solemn declaration and the stand of the Sumi Hoho'�unification first then solution' which we feel is a direct challenge to the ongoing political dialogue in the highest level'', Naga Hoho said.
The Hoho further stated banning of organizations or imposition of one's will upon others will further aggravate the human relationship and "we foresee that the Naga Hoho may be at the receiving end so long the tussle continues between NSCN (IM) and the Sumi apex organizations".
