Dimapur July 6 (MExN): Barely concealing its irritation, the Naga Students Federation (NSF) has asked the Nagaland Government’s “Delegation” to the ongoing Soccer World Cup in Germany to “come home fully equipped with sports techniques to elevate the spirits” of young Naga sportspersons of Nagaland. The Federation also expressed its hope that the “yelling” of the “delegation” would “reflect the interest and concern of the government for the youths” of the state in Germany as well as “produce international-standard Naga players after the delegation bring back home the techniques”.
The NSF – in an under-the-hat show of disapproval–expressing serious view at “the presence of politicians and bureaucrats” at the World Cup, stated that the exercise of sending such a delegation should certainly show results. “The Federation expects the delegation to come home fully equipped with sports techniques to elevate the spirit of young upcoming persons in the state. The state is still suffering from incompetence in the field of sports and the idea behind sending a government delegation to Germany for at least two weeks at the expense of the state exchequer, need to have results” an NSF statement issued by Kudeyi Chizo, Secretary Games & Sports stated. The delegation held the view that “The recent photo coverage of the delegation in the local dailies, yelling in the midst of thousand crowds reflects the interest and concern of the Government for the youths”.
“The NSF seriously views the presence of politicians and bureaucrats from Nagaland in Germany (excluding young players), to witness the world Cup. The Federation with great enthusiastic spirit anticipate that the Government will produce international standard Naga-players after the delegation bring back home the techniques” the Federation hoped adding that organization would welcome the delegation home “with much anticipation”.
