Chakhroma Public Organization (CPO) has appreciated the stand taken by the All Assam Sema Naga Council (AASNC) against the lyrics of the Bihu song used for the Guinness World Record attempt at the Sarusajai Stadium in Guwahati on April 14.
AASNC stated that the lyrics used in the song were insulting the Naga community residing in Assam.
The Council condemned the song for using words like “Okora Naga”, and “Nagini”.
In a letter of appreciation addressed to the AASNC president, CPO president Zhato Kimho conveyed “sincerest appreciation” on the council’s “vigilant and timely response” to the lyrics of the Bihu song.
CPO said the song has hurt the sentiment of all Nagas across the country. CPO, however, said the song would have gone unnoticed if AASNC office did not point out and react in time. “We are sure that this will promote a better understanding between the Assamese and the Nagas of Assam in future,” CPO stated.
