Senapati, May 28 2025:
The Naga People's Organisation (NPO) has expressed deep concern over the recent meeting circular being issued by the Sadar Hill Chief's Association (SAHILCA), inviting members of the Gorkha community to deliberate on matters regarding Panchayat and the recent press released of the Manipur Gorkha Unit (MGU) .
The NPO in a release has urged SAHILCA to refrain from organising such meetings, especially during these sensitive and volatile situations in the State, to avoid unnecessary confusion and tension.
Stating that Kangpokpi is home to several Naga villages and ancestral land.
The NPO said that any discussion on "Panchayat" or community decision making cannot be taken unilaterally by a single community.
"Any attempt to exclude the voice of the Nagas would be incomplete and potentially divisive, and few Gorkha villages have no authorities to make any decision for the entire Gorkha in the State," said the NPO.
Therefore, the NPO has appealed to all concerned to act with caution, wisdom, and respect for all communities to avoid any action that may sow misunderstanding or disharmony among the community.
