This summon comes in response to Konyak’s remarks regarding the Eastern Nagaland People’s Organization’s (ENPO) decision to abstain from the forthcoming Lok Sabha elections.
At a campaign event for the People’s Democratic Alliance’s consensus candidate in Wokha on recently, Chingwang Konyak reportedly criticised ENPO’s stance, suggesting that their non-participation in the elections would be detrimental to their own interests.

The letter accuses Konyak of repeatedly making unfavourable comments on the issue, despite the ENPO’s instructions.
The Konyak Union stated that Konyak’s actions not only disobeys the Konyak CSO’s authority but also shames and embarrasses the entire Eastern Nagaland (EN) community, especially the Konyak people he represents.
Furthermore, the apex tribal body slammed Konyak’s conduct as “unbecoming of a responsible citizen and a leader”, underscoring the gravity of his remarks and their implications for the community.
