Imphal, October 25 2009:
Maintaining that the general public convention to be held on October 29 and 30 at Tamenglong headquarters is seemingly not inclusive of all the Zeliangrong people, Zeliangrong Research Forum observed that the convention must be endorsed by all the Zeliangrong people living in Assam, Manipur and Nagaland if the past mistakes are not to be repeated.
The union urged the leaders to have vision and patience to resolve the differences amicably so that the community can achieve unity.
Saying that people from Nagaland would be unable to take part in the convention as the convention falls during Chaga celebrations, the forum also urged the organisers to fix another date for the convention.
Opining that holding of elections would face inconveniences, the forum urged the organisers to resolve the unity and nomenclature of 'Baudi' and 'Union' only in the convention.
Other agendas can be discussed in future, added the forum.
