Imphal, May 20 2012:
Observing that it was formed for the protection of the rights of Zeliangrong, Inpui, Chiru, Kom and other kin tribes, their land and resources as well as to preserve and forster Zeliangrong unity and integrity, Zeliangrong United Front (ZUF) has expressed serious concern recent developments in Zeliangrong society.
In a statement, Joint Secretary of ZUF A Remroi maintained that so far ZUF has noted that Zeliangrong civil societies have miserably failed in many areas.
One of the most unfortunate situations is the existence of two parallel Zeliangrong apex bodies, namely Zeliangrong Baudi and Zeliangrong Union.
The existence of two apex bodies has brought about immense damages and dispute to the Zeliangrong people.
Therefore, ZUF would be taking up necessary measures to bring the two bodies under one banner.
Appealing to all concerned to desist from precipitating the already volatile situation by forming another apex body, Remroi warned that if any individual or group do not heed to the appeal, then such individuals or groups would be considered as anti-people and anti-Zeliangrong and befitting action would be taken up against them.
ZUF has also expressed serious concern over the recent contradictory statements coming from Zeliangrong civil societies over the tribe(s) issue and observed that such contradictory stand taken by different Zeliangrong civil societies only cause damage to the good name of Zeliangrong community.
