Imphal, May 14 2018:
The Liangmai Naga Council, Manipur (LNC-M) has imposed "social boycott/excommunicate" Athuan Abonmai, president of Zeliangrong Baudi, Assam, Manipur and Nagaland (ZB-AMN) "for his anti-Liangmai activities".
"As per the annual general meeting of LNC-M held on May 11, 2018 at Puilong village under resolution No.7-Action-ITI, the house has called social boycott/excommunicate Mr Athuan Abonmai for his anti-Liangmai activities", said a press release of LNC-M, while adding, "Details of his case shall be furnished by LNC-M if necessary.
"Athuan Abonmai may also appear himself before the office of the LNC-M within ten days from the date of this press release if he wishes to defend his position," the LNC-M further said.
Meanwhile, apropos to the statement of the Zeliangrong Baudi (ZB) dated May 12, 2018, the Liangmai Naga Council-Manipur(LNC-M) in its rejoinder said that it is not a constituent unit of Zeliangrong Baudi (ZB).
Moreover, the Liangmai people from Manipur had disassociated from every Zeliangrong organization as declared in 'Liangmai People Convention-2015' where Athuan Abonmai himself was present and was a signatory of the declaration.
"Therefore, ZB or any other Zeliangrong organization does not represent Liangmai people of Manipur whatsoever," it also stated.
"Despite intimations to Zeliangrong organizations to strike off 'liang' from their nomenclature, they continue to use it which is a serious breach of conduct," it further said.
