Dimapur, May 20 (MExN): In reference to the article published in local dailies on May 16, Yimkhiung Regional Council, NNC (Parent Body) clarified on the region’s stand “to the people in the Homeland regarding the former Acting President of the NNC (Parent Body) Z Royim.” Yimkhiung Regional Council, NNC (Parent Body) President, Ahoshe Yimkhuing and Midan Peyu, Shito Yimkhuing in a press release stated that Royim “was denounced and expelled from the NNC set up due to his act of betrayal and compromising the Naga people’s Democratic Rights for freedom, hence, the decision to remove and expel him was taken unanimously by the NNC (Parent Body) as a whole.” Therefore, Z Royim is no longer a part of the NNC (Parent Body) and should not be confused for one by the Naga people and particularly the Yimkhiung Region NNC (Parent Body). In fact, in the past he was also using some other Organisation’s name and was expelled by that group too, it stated. The press release also cautioned that Royim should “never meddle in the affairs of the NNC (Parent Body). This is our clear statement about Z Royim from the Yimkhiung Region.”
