Dimapur | October 11
Affiliates of the Ao Senden on October 11 endorsed the Ao Senden’s September 23 resolution to sever ties with the Naga Hoho. The decision was taken at a joint meeting of eight federating units of the Ao Senden based in Kohima, Chumukedima, Medziphema, Mon, Wokha, Mokokchung town, Tuensang and Dimapur, which was held at the treasurer’s residence of the Ao Senso Telongjem Dimapur.
At a media briefing, the eight units affirmed - “as resolved by the Ao Senden Federal Council on September 23, 2016 on the matter of the recognition of the Rongmei as an indigenous tribe of Nagaland state” - to stand by the resolution. The Ao Senden had stated that it will cease associating with the Naga Hoho until the latter “revokes its consent on the Rongmei recognition issue.”
The affiliates further drew attention to what it termed as “Ao national workers campaigning against the Ao Senden resolution.” Condemning the alleged campaign, the affiliates asked the “Ao national workers” to desist from doing so.
