Imphal, May 25: Sixteen Naga organisations in Manipur have directed all the Naga organisations, Churches, student bodies, women organisations and village chiefs to be alert over the movement of any person or group masquerading as members of United Naga People's Council (UNPC).

The Naga organisations have also advised every Naga not to associate with the UNPC in any manner whatsoever.

The sixteen organisations are the UNC, Naga Women's Union, Manipur (NWUM), NPMHR (South), ANSAM, Zeliangrong Boudi (AMN), Chandel Naga People's Organisation, Tangkhul Naga Long, Maring Naga Hoho, Anal Naga Hoho, Chothe Naga Hoho, Lamkang Naga Hoho, Moyon Naga Hoho, Monsang Naga Hoho, Naga Students' Union Chandel, Poumai Students' Union and Tangkhul Students' Union.

The sixteen Naga organisations said that while declaring that the United Naga Council is the only apex organization of all Nagas in Manipur and is not the frontal organization of the NSCN (K) or NSCN (IM) or FGN/NNC, added "we would like to make it clear that the formation of such group as United Naga People's Council (UNPC) is not known to the Nagas and the purported formation of UNPC is the handiwork of the enemies of the Nagas designed to create confusion in the minds of the people, which some section of media have sensationalized".

The organisations said that "the consultative meeting has taken strong observation on the threat perception as reported to the Naga Social organization, UNC and ANSAM as direct challenge to the Naga people as a whole".
