This is to make the people know the truth about the twist of events to promote misunderstanding amongst the Naga tribes. The constitutional provisions of the Naga hoho was fully violated and illegal methods adopted to protect the hoho officials.
The blatant act to nullify the constitution and suite the controversial leaders is a ploy to drive away the tribes so that those at helms can retain positions without tribe hohos participation. The dissociated units have their genuine reason which needs to be addressed seriously but it seems that position of certain officials are more important than the tribe hohos.
The recent presidential meet converted into federal assembly without proper representation of the tribe hohos indicates vested interests and violates the basic tenets of the constitution and disregard to its principle of oneness. There's laid down rules and procedure for calling a Federal Assembly (FA) and certain decorum are needed.
The FA meeting has to be duly represented by tribe members who are officially endorsed by the concerned tribe. Therefore, the recent FA is out of the purview of the constitution as the speaker was not present. As per laid down rules, the search/nomination committee have to be constituted by the FA with three presidents and two eminent members chosen by the house. The hoho is a peoples’ organisation through the tribes participation. Hence the proposed names are not in tune with procedural rules and a stint to tarnish the good image and integrity of the persons selected for the committee.
No official can summon or preside over the federal assembly without the knowledge of the speaker. All decision taken on 26th November 2018 is invalid and tantamount to usurp of the constitution and tribes authority. It is explicitly clear that only a federal assembly has the power to extend the tenure of the executive council. But the unconstitutional gathering with individual interest extended the tenure of EC, whereas they are supposed to demit office.
It's perplexing to notice that the general secretary and finance removed as the Angami and Chakhesang has disassociated. Whereas the president, vice president and secretary for cultural affairs are retained when the said three officials tribes has done the same much before the two tribes. Moreover, the speaker whose tribe was still in hoho was targeted. It's crystal clear that the motive was for promoting individual person than the collective will of the Naga people.
The reason for hoho problems started with the same issue and we have inherited it without knowing the sentiments of the tribes. It's up to the tribes to decide the destiny of our people and not officials of NH nor the unauthorized person who impersonated their tribes without the tribes endorsement.
It's unfortunate that those officials who are not member of Naga Hoho still upstage and illegally manipulates the office of Naga Hoho. Such arrogance and deceitful maneuvering demands appropriate rectification through a constitutional federal assembly to be summoned by the speaker at the earliest possible time.
