DIMAPUR, FEBRUARY 9 (MExN):The Naga Council Dimapur (NCD) has expressed solidarity to the statewide bandh called in protest against the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill 2016 and has urged all to stand united on the issue. A press statement issued by NCD maintained that the Bill is not only detrimental to the people of North East states but it intends to reduce the indigenous people of the North East to a minority in their own land. Apprehending that once the CAB is voted into law, the North East including Nagaland will become a dumping ground for illegal immigrants, the NCD has appealed the State Government and also the lone Rajya Sabha member to oppose the Bill. The NCD has also urged all the tribal hoho/union presidents in Dimapur to take responsibility to implement the proposed bandh peacefully in their respective colonies on February 11.
DDGBA informs administrative GB units
Meanwhile, the Dimapur District GBs Association (DDGBA) has informed all the eight administrative GB units to manage their respective administrative area for the success of the bandh. It also asked the GBs to cooperate and coordinate with the civil societies on bandh day and to remain vigilant so that anti-social elements do not take due advantage. With timing of the bandh from 6 am to 4 pm, the DDGBA has issued the following phone numbers for any emergency situation- 943683238/9436003788/9436066096.
CAB 2016 a RSS hidden agenda: CPO
The Chakhesang Public Organization (CPO) has out rightly opposed the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill 2016 while terming it as a political expression of RRS hidden agenda to turn India into full fledged Hindu nation and turn North East into Hindu immigrant dumping ground. The CPO in a press note has extended its fullest support to the state-wide bandh called on February 11 2019 and appealed all the citizen to express their support for the success of the bandh.
