On expiry of its 30-day deadline on Naga Hoho, to withdraw its endorsement to the government for recognition of Rongmei as a tribe in Nagaland, the Central Nagaland Tribes Council (CNTC) has resolved to disassociate itself from the Naga Hoho.
According to Central Nagaland Tribes Council president Hokiye Yeputhomi and general secretary Imtinochet Kubzar, this was resolved on July 22 and later reaffirmed at a meeting of constituent three apex tribal bodies– Ao Senden, Lotha Hoho and Sumi Hoho– which on August 24, reaffirmed the course of action to follow in case of failure by the NH to comply with the demand.
The CNTC further stated that henceforth, the three apex bodies have also withdrawn its support and participation in the Naga Hoho with immediate effect from September 1, 2016.
In this regard, Central Nagaland Tribes Council has also informed the representatives of the three tribal bodies to gracefully exit with immediate effect respecting the moral authority of the apex bodies which sent them to the Naga Hoho.
