The CNTC had on Juy 31,2016, issued a 30-day ultimatum on Naga Hoho to revoke its recommendation to the state government for recognition of Rongmei as an indigenous tribe of Nagaland. The deadline ended on August 31,2016 and thereafter, the three apex tribe organisations declared their dissociation from Naga Hoho. However, it may be recalled that Lotha Hoho had on September 5,2016 declared that it has no representative and if there was any who claimed to be do, then that person(s) was self-styled and doing so at one\u2019s own risk.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>Next Sumi Hoho, on September 10,2016 declared it has dissociated from Naga Hoho and also recalled all Sumi representatives from the Naga Hoho with immediate effect.<\/div>\n<div>On September 24, Ao Senden followed suit in declaring its dissociation from Naga Hoho. However, a representative of the Ao Senden continues to be a functionary of the Naga Hoho.<\/div>\n<div>According to information, there was allegedly intense pressure exerted on the Senden by various sections not to quit the Naga Hoho but that despite the efforts, it was ultimately decided by a majority but that the after affects continue to simmer.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>The government also utilised the good offices of its legislators to convince their respective tribal organisations against quitting Naga Hoho. The Ao legislators, Lotha legislators and Sumi legislators had, through separate statements, urged upon their apex tribe organisations to reconsider the decision and to maintain unity in anticipation of a positive outcome of the ongoing Naga political talk.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\u201cThe Rongmei issue has nothing to do with unity or disunity of Nagas\u201d said a CNTC official recently to Nagaland Post. Further the official said if Naga Hoho and the state government genuinely believed in Naga unity, then the appeals of CNTC and others should have been agreed to.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;Though CNTC officials, maintained that the Rongmei issue was clearly a socio-economic issue pertaining to land and other issues and as per definition of who is indigenous tribe of a particular state; there was an attempt to raise the bogey of \u2018Naga unity\u2019 by paraphrasing it with the Naga political issue. With ENPO (six tribes), CNTC (three tribes) having left Naga Hoho, only five tribes from Nagaland remain with it and the rest from Manipur.&nbsp;<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After the withdrawal\/dissociation of three apex organisations of three tribes \u2013Ao Senden, Lotha Hoho and Sumi Hoho- from the Naga Hoho; there is confusion regarding the locus standi of representatives of those continuing to hold positions in the Naga Hoho.
