DIMAPUR, Sept 15(MExN): The Eastern Nagaland Students’ Federation (ENSF) has appealed to all underground factions to shun violence and stop fratricide killing. The federation has stated that the students’ community does not understand the logic behind killing each other, adding that the violent situation is afflicting fear psychosis in their minds. “The ENSF want absolute peace in Nagaland and allow every student to concentrate in their studies. Every single student lives is the most precious to the federation. Therefore, the ENSF condemn every act of violence and fractional killing in and around educational institution and students based areas,” a release stated. Retaliation and hostile attitude should be erased from the mindset of every national worker and they should be reoriented to the set goal in true spirit, it said.
It also requested the various Naga underground groups to abstain from further bloodshed among brothers in the name of sovereignty. “The upcoming students’ communities are not fool; they need not be taken for a ride. The national workers need to display their political mature-ness through rationality rather than emotionality,” the ENSF said. The student body also acknowledged the genuineness of the Naga political movement, but lamented that the present political scenario of the movement now depicts an ugly picture in Naga society as the genuineness of the cause seems to be fading away. The federation has also held contempt of the ideological conflict between various factions which becomes an antigen to Naga cause.
