The Naga Hoho is a federation of all Naga tribes. It is the tribe based apex body of the Nagas. The jurisdiction of the Naga Hoho covered all the traditional homeland of all the Nagas people, Nagas in Myanmar (Burma) and states of Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur and Nagaland in India. This is the platform for all Nagas which the founder leaders has established it with hardship and difficulties for the interest of the Naga people. The office of the Naga Hoho was functioned smoothly under the Presidentship of M. Vero the then President of Nag a Hoho till his team handover the charge to the present team headed by Horangse Sangtam.
The post of the President of the Naga Hoho is a prestigious post. The person who holds the post should be a person who is respected, honored and admired by his own tribe. But as per the press statements Horangse Sangtam, the President of Nag a Hoho was expelled by his own tribe for reasons best known to them. On the other hand, Thrinimong and his group claimed that they are the legal/legitimate United Sangtam Likhum Bumji (USLB) body and termed the other group a splinter group in the Naga Hoho Federal Assembly on July 22 at Kohima.
Now, the President of Nag a Hoho Horangse Sangtam became a confusing and controversial President of Naga Hoho. This creates confusion among the Naga people. This has already damaged the prestigious office of the chair. The Naga Hoho is of the Naga people, by the Naga people and for the Naga people.
It is high time for the United Sangtam Likhum Bumji (USLB) to clear the confusion and tell the truth and reality to the Naga people. It is the duty bound to speak out the reality to the people whether the USLB join the Naga Hoho or not in order to save the Naga Hoho for the interest of Nag a people. An individual or person cannot challenge his/her tribe and his/her tribe should be respected.
