Further, the organization said the Zeliangrong people had been, and will always be a close-knit family. ‘This can very well be confirmed from history, and our present stand and cautious understanding towards reorganization of our region can be had from the numerous representations and press statements of our concerned people till today,’ the organization stated.
“In spite of the numerous patient cautions, if the NSCN/GPRN chooses to forgo its stand by shredding the social fabric of our people, The Zeliangrong people, as per resolution No.3 of its central executive meeting, will deal with a befitting response towards any divisive element and will not co-operate with the organization thereof,” the organization added.
