GPRN/NNC (Apex Body) merges under Francis Kikon

DIMAPUR — The GPRN/NNC (Apex Body) council of Kilonsers, army wings and secretaries held an emergency meeting on Wednesday and resolved to merge en masse with the original GPRN/NNC (AB) under the leadership of Francis Kikon and to dissolve the GPRN/NNC (AB) led by SS Pongkhu.

In a press note, the GPRN/NNC (AB) further mentioned that it was also resolved to terminate President Pongkhu Yimkhung and Alo Yimkhung, acting army chief, on moral grounds, corruption and arbitrary action.

This included appointing the general secretary without any meeting or consultation with the council of kilonsers and tatars, running the government in a dictatorial manner, and putting his personal interest above the national cause.

It stated that the decision to terminate has been taken for violation of the Yezhabo Article 17, Clause 21, 26 and 30. The meeting also resolved to prohibit Pongkhu from using the name GPRN/NNC (AB) and added that failure to adhere to this decision shall invite stern action.
