Dimapur, October 16, (MExN): More Union continued to uphold Azheto Zhimomi against the threat pronounced by NSCN/GPRN (K). Aqahuto Area GB’s Union (ATKK) and The Dimapur District Citizens’ Forum (DDCF) also voiced their concern in different press statements.
ATKK has expressed deep shock over NSCN (K) statement to initiate action against Azheto Zhimomi, MLA cum Advisor, Sericulture & Co-operation. Vekuto Swu , Gen. Secretary, Aqahuto Area GB’s Union & Phushito Aye , President, Aqahuto Area GB’s Union issued the press note where it was stated that “This is unbecoming for any group to level a threat on a leader elected and representing the people, for no fault of his”. It was pointed out that their empathy for Azheto Zhimomi was not because he is from Aqahuto area but because of the relationship he maintains with the people and that it was strongly believed that he had been falsely alleged.
It was also mentioned that the people of Aqahuto area look upon the leader as an honest and responsible leader, who is selflessly devoting his time to uplift the Naga people as a whole. ATKK therefore sincerely appealed to NSCN (K) to arrive to an understanding resolve the matter in the interest of the peace loving people. Further, the union also appeals the GPRN/NSCN for safe release of Bokato alias Hemail Sumi at the earliest.
In another similar instance, the Dimapur District Citizens’ Forum (DDCF) appealed NSCN (K) to rethink and withdraw its decision to take action against Azheto Zhimomi also an advisor of the DDCF.
I. Temjen Jamir , general secretary, DDCF and Richard Haolai, Office Secretary, DDCF in a press note stated that Azheto Zhimomi is the “People’s Representative” to the Nagaland Legislative Assembly from Dimapur and it is beyond the belief of the forum that he would be responsible for the arrest of an NSCN (K) official.
The press note also added that it was shocking to hear that an advisor of the forum has come under the threat of an underground organization when the citizens of Nagaland are hungry for a lasting peace in the land. The forum stated that it was hope of the citizens that the proposed action will be withdrawn at the earliest for peace among all sections of the society particularly in Dimapur and Nagaland in general.
Further, the Dimapur Sumi Council has stated that it is not the time to point fingers at each other as nothing can be achieved out of accusing one another. DSC in a press statement issued by Z.Ihoto Awomi, general secretary, DSC expressed shock over the threat issued against the public leader Azheto Zhimomi. The Council also appealed the underground factions to restrain from taking any actions and settle the matter amicably.
The Western Sumi Kukami Hoho in another press release stated that Azheto Zhimomi has no involvement whatsoever in the arrest of NSCN (K) functionary and has requested the NSCN/GPRN (K) to exercise wisdom and withdraw the statement. APeto Assumi in the press note pointed out that Azheto Zhimomi is an astute leader, with much invaluable contribution towards social upliftment. It was also stated that “Such rash and irresponsible act of threat and intimidation upon respectable leaders would set an ugly precedent for anti-socials”. The Hoho also appealed the citizens to readily deter any inimical elements that threaten the civil society and social harmony.
The Naga Council Dimapur also appealed both sides to sort the matter and resolve any misgivings with large-heartedness. In a press note issued by Savi Liegise, president, NCD, it stated that “we consider it important in view of the Naga family arriving at a suitable juncture awaiting new and hopeful phase of understanding and reconciliation which is brought about by the great sacrifices of all National workers, politicians and others concerned”. It was also stated that NCD is a neutral civil body representing various communities of the Naga family endeavoring to promote harmony among all citizens. The Council appealed to both concerned to observe mutual goodwill which will greatly impact the general public towards upholding good relationship in a fraternal spirit.
Aqahuto Area Students’ Union also in a separate press note condemned and termed the threat as ‘outrageous’ and ‘unacceptable’. Inato Sumi, President, AASU, in the press note stated that Azheto Zhimomi hails from Aqahuto area and therefore the union expresses their solidarity towards him and his family and extended their full support.
Kachari Tribal Council, Nagaland in another press note appealed the NSCN/GPRN(K) to revoke the ‘proposed action’ against Azheto Zhimomi and find a solution to the ‘problem’ through mutual trust and understanding for the greater interest of all concerned. Joseph Mech, Information and public secretary, Kachari Tribal Council, Nagalnd, stated in the press note that the Council finds Azheto Zhimomi to be very honest, lovable and straight forward leader with no ill intention to any group or individual.
