Signature drive during Naga Reconciliation meet alleged

Dimapur, March 23 (MExN): The Western Angami Public Organization (WAPO) has alleged that a number of cadres from a “particular faction” have being getting villagers to append signatures on a “representative sheet” to attend what is stated to be “7th Naga people’s consultative meeting” on the same date and venue the ‘Naga reconciliation meeting’ was held. The WAPO issued a note today explaining the said incidence and has rejected the so-called “representative sheet.”

“Just before the Naga reconciliation meeting, some cadres of a particular faction came and somehow managed to get some villagers to append their signatures on a representative sheet to attend the so-called ‘7th Naga peoples’ consultative meeting’ on the same date and venue with that of the Naga reconciliation meeting,” he WAPO said in a press release issued through its president Vikehielie Victor.

The WAPO expressed faith that the Forum for Naga Reconciliation does not incline towards any particular underground organization. “But those two approached – reconciliation by FNR and consultation by a faction on the same date and the same venue created a conduction which should be addressed suitably,” the organization said. The signatories who signed on the “representative sheet” have ‘confessed’ to appending their signatures in individual capacity without consulting the other villagers, the press release said.

“The Western Angami Public Organization therefore resolved on this 21st day of March 2012 and declared that the signed representative sheet by some western Angami do not carry the public opinion. Hence those signed representative sheets cannot be considered as mandatory in any manner,” the WPO added.
