Angami Students' Union declares Md. Ali Hussain ‘persona non grata’

DIMAPUR — The Angami Students' Union (ASU) has declared Md. Ali Hussain and his family 'persona non grata' in Angami territory, directing them to leave the jurisdiction within seven days, starting from February 6.

The union also advised the district administration not to grant Inner Line Permit (ILP) or renewals to the individual, his family, future generations, or related kin.

In a press release, the ASU stated that following a thorough investigation, the union established that Hussain has engaged in activities fundamentally detrimental to the peace and wellbeing of society.

The union found him guilty of transgressions, including actively assisting and facilitating the entry of “undocumented individuals into our land, an act that directly threatens our communal security, demographic integrity and the future of our indigenous people.”

He was also accused of gross deception by owning and operating a commercial vehicle under the registration and name of a Naga individual.

“He attempted to lure and manipulate local citizens into providing false testimonies in his favour and provided blatant falsehoods to the Union authorities within the office premises, showing a total lack of integrity,” the ASU stated.

Further, the union claimed that Hussain showed utter contempt for traditional institutions by wilfully ignoring official summons and continuing to operate the barred vehicle in open defiance of the union's standing directive.

The ASU called upon all concerned unions, village authorities and the general public to remain vigilant against such deceptive practices and to report any misuse of local identities.

“Any person found harbouring or aiding these individuals beyond the stipulated period shall do so at their own risk and will be held accountable by the community,” it added.
