Dimapur, June 4 (MExN): The Naga Students’ Federation has reacted to a news item said to have implicated the federation as an organization that imposes tax on the business community, contractors and suppliers. Denying the allegation, the NSF’s executives today said “such inflammatory and false allegation poisons the minds of innocent public, which endangers the very fabric of civil society.”
Explaining its stance, the NSF said it has been playing a vital role in working for the society and as a pressure group, a watchdog “on all spheres.” It claimed to have been “guarding the society from all anti-social elements” as an endeavor towards “restoration of justice” to the people. As a social organization committed to the cause of the people, the NSF said, it “believes” in the voluntary contribution or donation of the people. The credit of “success” of the federation goes to all groups and individuals who have been willingly contributing either in cash or in kind and has been strength to the organization.
Appealing for constructive criticism and not for “unjustifiable statement that would mislead the public,” the NSF has urged citizens to step forward and clarify the matter from the NSF office.
The NSF has informed all in concern that the federation has authorized the president, general secretary and the secretary of finance to “accept all sort of contribution” on behalf of the organization. Any person or group impersonating the federation’s leaders or the organization’s name should be reported to the organization’s leaders. The president can be reached at 9436438045, the general secretary at 9436066689 and secretary of finance at 9436405802.
