Consequent upon the prevailing situation that has arisen out of the proposed withdrawal of the three Tribal Hohos that constitute the CNTC, namely – Sumi Hoho, Lotha Hoho and Ao Senden from the Naga Hoho, the Ao Legislators appeal to the Ao Senden to reconsider the proposal and not to take any hasty decision of withdrawing from the Naga Hoho, especially at this juncture when the Naga political talks with the Government of India is at a crucial stage and that all stakeholders, be it organisations or individuals, need to stand united and exercise utmost restraint and settle all issues through constructive dialogues in the spirit of give and take.
The Ao Legislators fully appreciate the concerns expressed by the three Tribal Hobos and are of the opinion that further discussions and deliberations on the pertaining issues is required between all Civil Society Organisations and the State Government in order to dispel all misgivings ad misunderstandings.
The Ao Legislators further express our solidarity and willingness to proactively cooperate With the Ao Senden on all important issues that may impact the lives and future of the members of the Ao community in particular and the entire Nagas in general in the days to come.
On behalf of all Ao Legislators,
Shri Nuklutoshi, Hon’ble Minister
Shri S.I. Jamir, Hon’ble Advisor
