Dimapur, Jan. 5 (EMN): A youth organisation, the Zeliangrong Youth Front (ZUF) has opposed what is stated to be a convention to be conducted by another organisation, the Rongmei Naga People’s Organization (RNPO) in Tamenglong district. The ZUF issued a press release on Fri.
‘The proposed convention organized by the RNPO in Tamenglong district during Jan. 8-9 2018 is nothing but only to create disharmony and hatred among the brothers and sisters of the Zeliangrong family,’ the press release stated.
“The said convention organized by RNPO where one particular religious group is seemingly taking keen interest will not serve any good purpose since the Zeliangrong people are professing different religions in addition to professing Zeliangrong indigenous religions.”
The organisation cautioned that the youths and students “who are the pillars of the Zeliangrong future should not involve in such sectarian and destructive activities which will be regretful in future.”
The ZYF declared that there was ‘no logical reason to glorify when ones family is torn into pieces and when the brothers and sisters of the same origin are divided by giving different names of administrative creation.’
‘Never be part of destructive activities based on distorted history but be part of constructive activities for whatever you do will be recorded in the pages of history. The Zeliangrong Youth Front make known to all that any resolution or declaration of RNPO convention if made shall not be binding on Zeliangrong people in whatsoever manner,’ the organisation added in the press release, appended by its President Titus Kamei.
