Naga Hoho reaffirms stand on women’s reservation issue

DIMAPUR, MAY 18 (MExN): A consultative meeting with the Presidents of Nagaland based Naga Hoho constituents today upheld the 4th Federal Assembly resolution no. 4 of the Naga Hoho held on August 24, 2011 regarding women’s reservation. A press note from the Naga Hoho reminded that the resolution had observed that introduction of 33% reservation for women in Municipal Bodies was premature. It had instead advocated “empowerment of women by creating various opportunities to women by all the stakeholders.” The meeting further endorsed the Executive Council to have a joint sitting with the ENPO in connection with the 33% Women Reservation in Municipal Bodies for better coordination and understanding.
