DIMAPUR, MARCH 6 (MExN): The Lotha Lower Range Public Organisation (LLRPO) today issued a clarification with regard to the organisation’s February 13 meeting held at Bhandari.
A press note from the LLRPO expressed shock at “persons who attended the meeting misinterpreting at their will what actually did not happen in the meeting.”
The LLRPO said that press statement released by ten organisations of the Lotha community on March 4 “was a fabricated interpretation to create mistrust and confusion among us. Any matter pertaining to the affairs of LLRPO has to be rooted through this office.”
It informed that the LLRPO had not invited any media to the meeting and said that “any news is a creation of an unknown agency to tarnish and defame LLRPO.”
It may be noted that on March 4, ten organizations of the Lotha community had condemned a statement allegedly made by a Kilo Kilonser of the NSCN (IM) at the LLRPO meeting that the NSCN (IM) has “identified 25 Lotha intellectuals as troublemakers and would initiate action against them.” The organizations, in their release claimed that this “has been confirmed through people who attended the meeting.”
The LLRPO however cautioned that the “unfounded statements of the persons who attended the meeting shall be held responsible for the mess and creating chaos amongst the community. This is an act of treachery and shall be accountable to the range.”
It added that “misleading news and messages regarding LLRPO meeting of February 13, 2016 bears no validity and hence one should refrain and denounce it.” The LLRPO hoped that misunderstandings on this issue would be cleared “among us for the better cause of all.”
