Dimapur: In response to the “venomous allegations” made by the Working Committee of NNPGs on January 18, 2024, and subsequently circulated in local dailies and on social media, the Naga Hoho said today that the federal assembly of Naga Hoho, convened on January 23, 2024, at Rengma Gaon in Assam, unequivocally “condemns the baseless statements propagated” against Naga Hoho.
In a statement issued today, the Naga Hoho said “the orchestrated attacks” by the WC of NNPGs, certain organizations, and individuals, attempting to label Naga Hoho as a mere mouthpiece of NSCN-IM, are not only unfounded but also a blatant attempt to undermine the very fabric of Naga civil society.

The Naga Hoho also said it is an institution with a “storied history”, and has come under relentless assault, revealing a sinister pattern of dismantling Naga civil society, as envisioned by Ajit Doval, the National Security Advisor, who declared civil society as the new frontier of war.
“As we examine the Naga Hoho constitution points, it raises a poignant question: Do the finger-pointers no longer cherish and uphold the mandate of Naga Hoho, or have their minds and hearts lost connection with the essence of our collective aspirations?”, asked the Naga Hoho.

The Naga Hoho alleged that the attacks on Naga Hoho aim not only to tarnish its image but also to sow discord within the Naga community. “This orchestrated assault, influenced by divisive forces, poses a severe threat to Naga unity and sovereignty,” the statement also said.
The Naga Hoho “defiantly” asserted that it will not succumb to these “treacherous machinations orchestrated” by those acting as blatant collaborators of India.
