DIMAPUR, JANUARY 5 (MExN): The Dimapur District GB Association (DDGBA) has also opposed the 33% women reservation and the upcoming municipal and town council election. A press note from DDGBA asserted that as custodian of customary law and practice, any process that is to affect Article 371A and Naga customs and traditional will not be tolerated.
It also maintained that under the reservation, the rotation system without stability would bring more corruption among the representatives. “The present Government should have concern over the sentiments of Nagas instead of using power which is bestowed upon by the public. The DDGBA will not allow 1998 general election system to repeat again,” it stated.
