DIMAPUR, NOVEMBER 19
ORGANIZATIONS representing the Kyong Naga community have expressed inability to allow the Naga Hoho’s annual conference in Wokha thanks to a rift in the Kyong Hoho leadership.
The Kyong community’s frontal organizations met on November 19 in Kohima and deliberated on the issue of holding the Naga Hoho event in Wokha “while our hoho impasse is still unresolved.” The organizations said “if only our situation were normal, it would be our pride and privilege to host such a prestigious session in our district but since there is crisis in the Kyong (Lotha) Hoho set up we strongly object to the decision of holding the Naga Hoho session at Wokha.”
A press release received here today informing of the meeting said that the Kyong Hoho was dissolved on November 28 “but the same team dubiously assumed office violating the guidelines of the hoho on 11th Dec. 2012.”
The meeting unanimously reaffirmed a resolution that was undertaken on the 7th of June this year in Wokha “wherein the joint session declared them as un-mandated and until such time as a new team of office bearers come into being, the responsibility of the Kyong (Lotha) Hoho shall rest and abide with the four frontal organizations i.e., KSU, KEH, KYH and WDCCA.”
“The resolutions passed were widely publicized in the local media. In spite of the widely publicized resolution since the Naga Hoho did not have any consultation with the duly authorized four aforementioned frontal organizations before deciding to hold their general session in Wokha,” the press release said.
Given the circumstances within the Kyong Hoho, the organizations said, “if the Naga Hoho persists to hold the session they will be doing so at their own risk and responsibility.” Further, it added, “any resolution or decision that is arrived at the meeting shall be considered as in absentia of Lotha tribe.”
