Dimapur, January 17 (MExN): The 8 Federating Tribal Bodies under the Eastern Nagaland People’s Organisation (ENPO) today affirmed their resolute stand to reject the offer of an autonomous council or any form of an economic package, both by the Centre and the State, other than the Government of India's offer for the creation of Frontier Nagaland Territory (FNT) through the Ministry of Home Affairs.
“No matter what offer and redressal may be initiated in response to the ENPO's demand, it is already too little, too late,” stated the 8 Federating Tribal Bodies in a joint statement received here. The ENPO Federating Tribal Bodies are Chang Khulei Setshang (CKS), Eastern Sumi Hoho (ESH), Khiamniungan Tribal Council (KTC), Konyak Union (KU), Phom Peoples' Council (PPC), United Sangtam Likhum Pumji (USLP), Tikhir Tribal Council (TTC), and Yimkhiung Tribal Council (YTC).
Instead, the 8 Tribal Bodies reached out and requested the Government of India, Government of Nagaland, and all Naga brothers and sisters to extend their support as they embark on the new arrangement.
In the new arrangement, we hope to move forward courageously with prayers and blessings to a future where we can be equal contributors to the prosperity of our Great Nation and the Naga fraternity, the statement added.
