The two Members of Parliament from Nagaland may put up the issue of NBSE affiliation of schools from four Naga districts of Manipur during the coming Monsoon Session of Parliament for deliberation if the Centre fails to respond in time to the plea made by Naga students and Nagaland government, said Rajya Sabha MP, TR Zeliang.
“We are not involved at present, but we will put up in the Parliament if their demands are genuine and the Centre fails to respond in time”, TR Zeliang said talking from New Delhi.
“But, first let us see the response from the Centre”, said TR Zeliang, pointing out that he is not sure as to what will be the reply of the Centre to the issue that has been placed before it by the Naga students and Nagaland government.
He also said that the state government can do nothing to accommodate the schools from the four Naga districts of Manipur under NBSE unless the Centre gave a go-ahead nod.
The State cabinet in its emergency meeting has agreed to write to the Centre and accordingly the State Education Minister Imkong Imchen has written to the Human Resource Development Minister. However, a response is awaited, Zeliang informed.
The NSF and ANSAM representatives are presently campaigning in New Delhi to press upon the central leaders to expedite the affiliation process.
The students’ representatives are expected to meet Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh and Minister for Human Resource Development Arjun Singh, and submit a representation to the latter, a source informed.
