Imphal, April 7 (NNN): As the demand for creation of ‘Phungyar’ district becomes shriller, the United Naga Council (UNC) has asked "the so called demand committee (s)" to withdraw their representation submitted to the government immediately. The ‘Phungyar District Demand Committee’ has even threatened to resort to drastic forms of agitation if the district is not created by April 15. Creation of Phungyar district will amount to bifurcating Ukhrul district.
Without naming anyone in particular, the United Naga Council (UNC) told Newmai News Network tonight," It is implicit that the demand for new district (s) at this point of time in Naga/hill areas of Manipur is the handiwork of the adversaries to vitiate and derail the Alternative Arrangement process which is in progress peacefully and democratically. Therefore, the Naga people represented by the UNC seriously view this political gimmick as totally unhealthy and hence, urged the so called Demand Committee (s) to immediately withdraw their representation (s) submitted to the government (s) in the interest of the people."
The United Naga Council reminded that the Naga people in the state of Manipur have severed all political ties with the government of Manipur demanding the intervention of the government of India for an Alternative Arrangement outside the government of Manipur. "
