Kohima: The Konyak Civil Society Organisations (CSOs), on Saturday issued a summon to the president of the Nationalist Democratic Progressive Party (NDPP), Chingwang Konyak, over his statement on the Eastern Nagaland Peoples’ Organisation (ENPO)’s demand for a Frontier Nagaland Territory (FNT).
Through a letter, the tribal body summoned the NDPP chief for his “recent actions that have contravened the explicit directives set forth by the Konyak Union (KU) on 30th March 2024, directing all its citizens not to engage in commentary remarks on the ENPO FNT matter”.
According to the tribal bodies, Chingwang Konyak “made adverse remarks” during an election rally at Wokha on Friday.
“You have also on multiple occasions, made unfavorable comments regarding the FNT issue. Your repeated disregard to the Eastern Nagaland (EN) community and the Konyaks in particular is totally unacceptable,” the tribal bodies said.
According to them, the former MP’s actions not only defied the authority of the Konyak CSO but also brought “disgrace and humiliation” upon the Eastern Nagaland community, particularly the Konyak people.
“Your conduct is unbecoming of a responsible citizen and a leader,” they said.
Signed by the KU president Tingthok Konyak, Konyak Nyupuh Sheko Khong (KNSK) president Ponglem Konka and Konyak Students’ Union (KSU) president Noklem Konyak, the CSOs summoned the senior politician to appear at the Konyak Union office at Mon Headquarters within “48 hours” of receiving the notice to address the “violations” and to “explain” himself.
“Failure to comply with this summon will leave the Konyak CSO with no option but to initiate stern disciplinary action against you. We ask you to treat this matter with utmost seriousness,” the CSOs warned.
