Dimapur, February 04:
Naga Hoho president and former Deputy Speaker of Nagaland Legislative Assembly, Horangse Sangtam, is reportedly in life support in Bangkok.
Sources informed this Network this evening that Sangtam was admitted to a hospital last night following deterioration of his health.
The Naga Hoho president along with other tribal leaders from Nagaland had gone to the Thai capital recently after the ongoing peace process between Government of India and NSCN (IM) was deadlocked over certain issues.
Horangse Sangtam, who joined active politics in the seventies, also served the people as an MLA.
Prior to being elected as the president of Naga Hoho, he served the Naga Council, Dimapur as its president.
Earlier, in the day confusion reigned in Nagaland due to speculation that Horangse was dead.
According to sources in New Delhi, Horangse was declared clinically dead and was put on life support.
Naga leaders including Transport Minister Imtilemba Sangtam would be rushing off to Bangkok where they would decide if the life support should be removed and bring back his body to Nagaland.
Meanwhile, condolence messages have already started pouring in.
