KOHIMA, OCTOBER 3 (MExN): Nagaland State Governor, PB Acharya has expressed concern at the recent move by three tribe Hohos to disassociate from the Naga Hoho.
A press note from the Raj Bhavan said the Governor is “very much concerned about the unity of the Tribal Hohos so as to carry forward the ongoing peace talks of NSCN(IM) with Government of India.”

The Governor expressed his concern that the Ao Senden, Lotha Hoho and Sumi Hoho have moved out from the apex body, Naga Hoho. “These tribal bodies may have genuine and logical reasons for their disassociation with Naga Hoho. But whatever may be the reasons for their disassociation from the main body, Governor feels that civil societies, NGOs, student bodies, mother’s association, etc should stand united to make the peace talks successful,” he said. The Governor reminded that after a long 17 years, the Central Government under the leadership of Narendra Modi is trying to address the long protracted Naga issue to arrive a respectful solution.
“NSCN(IM) has already signed framework agreement with Government of India on 3rd August 2015,” the Governor stated, while appealing to all other groups to initiate talks with Central Government to come to a respectful solution. “Naga people have been going through many turmoil all these years. Now it is right time to solve the problem and make Nagaland march with jet speed for peace and development,” he added.
The Nagaland Governor further stated that “our empowered educated youth, women and men are eagerly waiting for peace and development in the State. The division and disunity among the hohos for any cause may sacrifice peace and development in the State.”
It asked all the tribe bodies, Hohos, NGOs, civil societies, student bodies, mother’s association, etc. to stand united for early and respectful solution.
