Konyak Union has declared the “self proclaimed Sovereign Republic of Freeland (SRF)” as “un-mandated and illegal within Konyak soil.”
In a press release, KU president Manlip Konyak and general secretary Honang Konyak said the proposed conference of SRF scheduled on June 28, 2016 at Mon town had been barred by the citizens of Mon Town on the midnight of June 27. Upholding its standing resolution on “One Code”, KU has outrightly condemned the activity of the “so called SRF within its tribal Institution.”
The union warned that henceforth, any individual/group who attempted to disrupt/disturb the “existing social harmonium established under the code of law” would not be tolerated at any cause.
Acting on the report that NST bus carrying SRF activists were travelling towards Mon and on confirmation of their intention, KU said it strongly opposed the move as per the aspiration and stand of the people. KU stated that ENPO had requested the “so called SRF group” for a joint venture under one common platform. ENPO had also requested them to keep all its activities in abeyance until a final the proposed meeting, which was scheduled to be held on July 7.
KU said it was totally shocked and hurt by SRF trying to host the general conference in Mon town. KU said this has deeply hurt the sentiment of the Konyaks and it was left with no alternative but was to resort to such extreme step. KU deemed it as a direct challenge to the integrity of the social Konyak institution.
Meanwhile, KU has lauded district administration and the law enforcing authority of Mon for timely intervention and safely escorting out SRF delegates out from Konyak soil. Timely intervention had avoided unnecessary physical infliction and confusion where normalcy was restored in Konyak soil, it said. The union also extended appreciation to citizens for their continued support to the union.
Meanwhile, KU has warned the state government and “some bureaucrats for misleading and misguiding those elements whereby their issues were even brought up and discussed at the cabinet level.” KU also appealed and warned the entire Konyak populace and “those currently wooed into SRF with magnificent profiles to immediately denounce it.” It also appealed to citizens to join the common platform actively. “Any individual or group who tries to dismantle the integrity and unity that had been cradled by our ancestors shall not be tolerated even by the God of the Konyaks,” KU said.
Alleging involvement of the third party in polluting the sanctity of the tribal institution and society, KU has asked those responsible to restrain/refrain from fooling and wooing those poor public with fictitious plan/information immediately. KU said it would not hesitate for any action if its appeal was not adhered to.
Konyak Union has informed that another round of meeting would be held on June 30 at Mon town and asked all the units under the umbrella of the KU to attend.
