The Rongmei Naga Council, Manipur(RNCM) has issued a statement expressing shock and condemning the abduction and assault of Kanpatlung Pamei, general secy of Rongmei Naga Youth Organizaiton(AMN)-RNYO by volunteers of Zeliangrong Youth Front(ZYF) and Zeliangrong Students Union -AZSU led by Titus Kamei, Shangru Gangmei and Joy in the night of Oct 15 .
The statement informed that "Kanpatlung Pamei was kidnapped, gagged and blindfolded and taken from Namthanjang village of Keithelmanbi, NH-37" at around 10 pm and taken to the Zeliangrong Baudi office, Tarung and then to ZYF/AZSU office, Namdunlong, where he was tortured and threatened.
Strongly condemning the assault and abduction, RNCM warned that a repeat incident will see the culprits punished.
However, RNCM clarified that this incident should be seen as collusion between Rongmeis and the Zeliangrong organizations, since it was acted out by some "Rongmeis with vested interest under the sheep skin of Zeliangrong organizations" .
