Dimapur, September 11 (MExN): The Naga Students’ Federation today expressed “concern” about the influx of illegal immigrants coming into Nagaland virtually unchecked. The NSF has blamed the inability and apathy “to evolve proper mechanism” in checking the influx.
The entry of hundred thousands of illegal immigrants, particularly Muslims of Bangladeshi origin into the state seems to be aided by “various state agencies,” the NSF said. The federation has called for more effective and stronger check-and-control mechanism to rid the state of illegal immigrants.
In a note today playing the familiar tune, the NSF expressed “concern” at the hundred thousands of illegal immigrants flooding into the state unchecked and endlessly. “(The influx)…is further compounded by various state agencies creating safe passage for immigrants to enter the Naga socio-fabric taking the advantage of the open boundaries in the pretext of law and order.
The federation cautions these immigrants who must not be used against the interest and aspiration of the Naga people,” the NSF note stated. The organization said the need for proper counter mechanism is needed as the menace is having a direct impact on the Naga society in all aspects – social, political and economic – threatening the Nagas’ existence.
One of the chief reasons instigating the disease of illegal immigrants in the state is the “inability” to evolve “proper mechanism” to check the influx. The NSF also condemned the latest illegal immigrant-perpetrated crime, this time in Wokha on August 21 where one Roshila Humtsoe was gang-raped and murdered by illegal immigrants. “The federation describes the action of the illegal immigrants from Bangladesh as barbaric beyond human comprehension that such a beastly attack is an act of unkindness and indication of disrespect against humanity,” the NSF note stated.
