Dimapur, Feb. 14: The Ao Senden has appealed “all those political leaders/legislators whosoever believes that he/she is a Naga citizen” to listen to the call of the people and withdraw support ‘to the person who has lost the faith of its people.’
The Ao Senden issued a press release on Tuesday appealing the legislators to withdraw their support to chief minister TR Zeliang. “This mass movement, which was initiated more than a month ago across Nagaland by the various hohos for the rights of the Nagas should not be misconstrued as political, nor is it under the instigation of any person, but it is purely a people’s movement to protect the inherent rights sacredly safeguarded by the blood and tears of our forefathers.
“Therefore, we demand that any leader who goes against the voice of the people should relinquish their position,” it stated. The Ao Senden also reiterated that no political party or individual shall issue any press statement against the call of the Aos in any local dailies, “failure to comply with this directive shall invite strong action against the defaulters.”
