Kohima, October 31 (MExN): The Naga Students’ Federation (NSF) in a memorandum to the Manipur State Chief Secretary reiterated its stand against the creation of Sadar Hills district.
The NSF, it its memo, recalled the initiative taken by the Government of Manipur with various Naga Civil Organisations with regard to the understanding and agreements of the various MOUs on the stated position of the Nagas against the creation of the Sadar Hills District without the consent of the Naga people.
The NSF drew attention to certain issues, which it stated needs to be attended to as critical imperative for Nagas and for the peaceful co-existence of the various ethnic groups in Manipur.
It reminded that the NSF has been against the creation of any district from the present districts predominantly inhabited by the Nagas.
It further asserted that the consent of the Naga people in any matter related with the creation of the Sadar Hill District should be convincingly understood to avoid any untoward outcomes with regard to any government action. As such, the NSG asked that corrective action be taken regarding the matters mentioned and also ensure that the climate in Manipur is conducive for peaceful co-existence “as always espoused by the Naga people.”
