Kohima, January 30 (MExN): To take stock of the impending danger arising out of the face-off between the Nagaland State Government and tribal bodies over the ULB elections, an emergency meeting of the Kohima based tribal bodies was held at the APO Conference Hall here today.
The meeting convened by Angami Public Organization (APO) and Chakhesang Public Organization (CPO) maintained that “no tribe of Nagaland has said that ULB elections should not be held rather the earnest request and appeal all along has been to give us adequate time to deliberate the Nagaland Municipal Act before implementing it,” according to a press release from Dr. Vilhusa Seleye, President, APO and Kekhwengulo Lea, President, CPO.
Observing that the present impasse has reached a “boiling point of a very serious situation”, the meeting appealed to the Chief Minister to use his wisdom and postpone the scheduled election to save the situation.
“Despite this earnest request, if the Government goes ahead with the elections, the consequences arriving out of this fallout shall be solely borne by the Chief Minister and his Cabinet,” it added.
