No bandh in APO jurisdiction, says APO president

Angami Public Organisation (APO) president Razouvotuo Chatsu on Thursday informed that the state-wide bandh called under the banner of Naga People’s Action Committee (NPAC) will not be enforced under APO jurisdiction.
Chatsu said the view of APO was that NPAC is not mandated or authorised by the apex tribe organizations and as such, they had no authority to give directives to the apex tribe bodies.
While maintaining that all Nagas were for early solution to the vexed Naga political issue, he reminded that the 14 apex tribal hohos had already issued a statement in this regard. Therefore, if the tribe bodies do not heed to their directives, it should not be taken otherwise, APO president stated.
Therefore, he said NTAC directives to hold the proposed bandh on January 14 will not be enforced in APO jurisdiction.
