Imphal, June 09 2022: Reacting to the news reports that the Zeliangrong CSOs have endorsed the Agreed Position, the Zeliangrong Baudi (AMN) has categorically asserted that the recent consultative meeting of Zeliangrong CSOs with NNPGs held on June 7 at Dimapur and its subsequent press statement published by WC-NNPGs do not represent the voice of Zeliangrong people.

Since the inception of the Indo-Naga political talk, the Zeliangrong people neither endorse nor support nor subscribe to any particular party or faction till date, according to a press release issued by ZB (AMN) .

"It is our constant view that unity and collective effort of all Nagas is prerequisite to finding a pragmatic Naga solution.

Time and again, we reiterate our people's support for early and inclusive settlement of the protracted Naga political issues while keeping alongside the Zeliangrong political aspiration and movement intact", it said.

The ZB (AMN) maintained that the supposed endorsement and support of Zeliangrong to NNPGs Agreed Position and its subsequent status paper contradicted the political outlook of Zeliangrong people.

Saying that the Central Executive Council of ZB (AMN) neither discussed nor authorised any of its frontal organisations on these issues, the ZB (AMN) cautioned its Zeliangrong individuals/CSOs to refrain from making/giving any undue press statement that could confuse, disturb or create undesirable implication at this stage when the progress of Indo-Naga political talk is at its crucial momentum for final settlement.

Members of Zeliangrong CSOs who participated in the consultative meeting with NNPGs were not officially commissioned to represent the people nor do they carry the voice of the Zeliangrong people on the Naga political issues.

As such, the subsequent press statement is devoid of any implied or deduced meaning.
