Imphal, October 28 2020:
KD Gangmei, information & publicity secretary Zeliangrong United Front (ZUF) has claimed that there is no such identity as Hozam Thaimei, secretary information & publicity ZUF.
In a statement, KD Gangmei said that the pristine ZUF is obliged to stand out clearly on the matter affecting the Zeliangrong public caused by the press statement signed by Hozam Thaimei dated 26th October, 2020 .
It is pertinent to state that the defected ZUF to NSCN-U and subscribed to NNPGs on 26th October 2019 spells clear tone of invalidity for the merger group to hold on to the nomenclature of ZUF.
Moreover, the defected group being ceased to exist cannot represent the Zeliangrong people in any manner except to remain loyal to the principle of the group to which they merged, he said.
KD Ganmei continued that the question of representing Zeliangrong in the Indo-Naga talk led by NNPG cannot happen as the subject matter is a pole apart.
Saying that Zeliangrong issue is to be dealt with in the purview of the Indian Constitution, he added that no solution for Zeliangrong can be expected from the anticipated Naga solution.
The fact that the NNPG working committee did not invite the Zeliangrong people for consultation scheduled on 29th October 2020 proves that Raitu Chawang and S Kamson does not represent Zeliangrong in NNPG or Naga people.
As there is no culture or any provision for defecting from one faction to another in the constitutional set up of the Zeliangrong United Front, the defected group has directly violated and trampled the ethical tradition of the ZUF and as such, the defected or surrendered group has no right to represent the Zeliangrong people's movement.
He appealed to all Zeliangrong people not to be confused or misled by such 'unfounded' or 'unrepresented' individuals who go on distorting and devaluing the movement and historical legacy of the Zeliangrong people.
