Senapati, Manipur – June 13, 2024

In a significant move, the United Naga Council (UNC) has issued a public notification following an emergency assembly held on May 29, 2024, at Town Hall, Panchai, Chamdil (Chandel) District. The resolution No. 1, adopted during this meeting, addresses actions perceived as defiance against the Council’s authority during the recent 18th Lok Sabha General Election.

The UNC has debarred three individuals, Eno. Kho John of the Poumai Tribe, Eno. Dr. Allyson Abonmai of the Liangmai Tribe, and Eno. Alfred Kangnam Arthur of the Tangkhul Tribe, from public platforms and leadership roles within the Naga society. This ban is set for a duration of seven years, effective immediately.

These individuals are accused of willfully challenging the Naga people’s unity and the Council’s position. Their actions during the election were seen as a direct affront to the UNC’s established authority and the collective spirit of the Naga community.

In light of this resolution, all constituent units, subordinate and associate units of the Council, as well as the broader Naga populace, are instructed to respect and enforce this decision within their respective jurisdictions.

H. James Hau, the Secretary of Information & Publicity for the UNC, emphasized the importance of maintaining the unity and respect for the Council’s decisions, urging all members to adhere to this directive.

This decision underscores the UNC’s commitment to preserving the integrity and unity of the Naga society in the face of challenges.
