DIMAPUR — Expressing deep concern over the escalating tension between the Southern Angami Public Organisation (SAPO) and Mao community in regard to the Kezoltsa/Koziirii dispute issue, the Rengma Hoho has appealed for mutual respect and peaceful coexistence.
In a press release, the Rengma Hoho said that the ongoing dispute has led to adverse effects, causing distress and anguish among both communities.
While appealing to all parties involved to prioritise mutual respect and promote peaceful coexistence, the hoho specifically urged the Angami Public Organisation (APO) and SAPO to reconsider their ultimatum issued to the Mao community and refrain from any drastic actions that may escalate the situation further.
The hoho went on to underscore the need to allow peace to prevail, especially considering that the conditions outlined in the ultimatum have already been met through TPO mediation.
“We are pleased to note that security forces and Section 144 of the CrPC have been withdrawn from the disputed area, and the damaged rest house has been reconstructed. We call upon both communities to place their trust in the TPO for a peaceful resolution to the dispute.
“At this critical juncture, the Rengma Hoho earnestly prays for mutual respect and peaceful coexistence, emphasising the importance of fostering the spirit of brotherhood among the Nagas,” it added.
