Dimapur, August 26 (MExN):The Naga Students’ Federation (NSF) has cautioned individuals and groups against “taking law into their hands” in their attempt to “identify and deport” Illegal Bangladeshi Immigrants (IBIs). In a press note issued by President Kelhouneizo Yhome and Asst. General Secretary Tongpang Ozukum, the NSF has reiterated that a mass movement or forceful eviction of IBIs will not bring lasting solution, instead having a repercussion on, and resultant victimization of, thousands of Nagas living outside the state. It will thus be necessary to implement specific legal measures and steps. The Federation has reiterated its stance of safeguarding the common interest, integrity and fraternity of Nagas living in India and Myanmar, ignoring imaginary boundaries drawn by external forces. “Anyone trying to dislodge the unity and cooperation amongst our people will be considered as agents of alien forces,” said the note. NSF has urged people to restrain from provoking “unwanted situations” that could hamper peace coexistence of people on this land.
