Dimapur, December 07 (NNN):
Representatives of all the federating units of the Naga Hoho, the apex social organisation of the Nagas, will be formally meeting the collective leadership of the NSCN-IM when the latter arrive in Dimapur.
Reliable sources in the Naga Hoho said that a reception committee to welcome Th Muivah and Isak Chisi Swu had been formed.
The sources said that though the programme would be short it would be lavish and impressive.
United Naga Council (UNC) president in-charge Puni Modoli, said that right now there has not been any information received with regard to the date for the arrival of the NSCN-IM leaders to Dimapur.
However, the UNC leader said that preparations have begun to receive the two NSCN-IM leaders.
Puni Modoli is the co-convenor of the Naga Hoho's Reception Committee.
Puni said that tribe leaders of the Nagas had plans to meet the NSCN-IM collective leadership in Dimapur.
He is not sure whether the tribe leaders would also submit "memoranda" and other write-ups to the collective leaders of the NSCN-IM during the meeting.
However, the UNC leader said that discussion was on among the tribal leaders in this regard.
On the other hand, Naga leaders both in Nagaland and Manipur said that the decision of the NSCN-IM collective leaders to consult and seek opinions and views of the Naga people and the intellectual of the Nagas as a whole was a very positive step.
