Abstain from ULB election till Frontier Nagaland Territory resolved — Konyak Union

DIMAPUR — The Konyak Union (KU) has issued directive asking all individuals, groups, and political parties within its jurisdiction to abstain from participating or filing nominations for the upcoming Urban Local Body (ULB) elections.

This decision, rooted in the Chenmoho Resolution of February 23, 2024, will remain in effect until the Government of India (GoI) and the state government agree to the demand for a Frontier Nagaland Territory (FNT) as offered by the GoI through the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), it said in the order issued on Thursday.

The union cautioned that any individual, group, or political party failing to adhere to this order would be doing so at their own risk and volition, and those who defy the order will be deemed as ‘traitors’ to the public’s genuine cause.

Maintaining that the order was issued in the interest of upholding the collective decision of the Konyak people, the union stated, “Defaulters will be subject to bear all responsibilities of the Konyaks. They will be required to reimburse all expenses incurred by the people in support of the FNT cause”.
