‘Rhakho not FGN’

Dimapur, Nov 20 (MExN): Terming as “shameless” the title of GOC used by TM Rhakho in a press statement issued earlier, Major General Zao Nagi, the Deputy C-in-C of the Naga Army, Federal Government of Nagaland informed in a release that Colonel Thupuneyi alias TM Rhakho was dismissed from the outfit’s hierarchy on April 24, 2003. 

Rhakho was relieved from duty for his involvement in the “Indian puppet state elections in February, 2003,” according to Nagi. Rhakho is said to have resorted to use of violence. He is also reported to have snatched seven arms from the possession of the 15th battalion, 5th Brigade, S/C Naga Army for the very elections. 

Stating that the Article 15 of the FGN’s Yehzabo (Constitution) reads that no title shall be recognised without the approval of the “Government,” Nagi said, “Therefore the title he (Rhakho) is using is without the recognition of the FGN is only a disgrace to him; and the FGN will never allow him to mislead the Naga people.”
