•-It is very unfortunate that the Education Department has deliberately tried to mislead the people of the state by saying that the ENSF had agreed to certain points during their meeting held on February 2 at the residence of State Education Minister. The fact is the ENSF has categorically pointed out during the meeting that if the Government failed to fulfill their 5-point representation, they would be compelled to boycott the teachers’ interview to be held on February 11 in four districts of Eastern Nagaland---Tuensang, Mon, Kiphire and Longleng.
The most unfortunate thing is the Education Department is all out ready to conduct the said teachers’ interview saying that the ENSF has agreed to have the interview in the said four districts during their meeting at Education Minister’s residence on February 2 last. Whereas the ENSF has now dismissed the claims made by the Education Department saying that they have never agreed during the February 2 meeting at Education Minister’s residence.
It is very unfortunate that when non-implementation of 25% job reservation for the backward tribes of Eastern Nagaland issue was topping, the Education Department has even no qualms in misleading the people with the false claims that ENSF has agreed to the teachers’ interview. The attitude of the Government has clearly shown that they are not bothered anything if the matter is something to do with the people of the Tuengsang, Mon, Kiphire and Longleng.
Since the ENSF has openly come out that they would boycott the teachers’ interview to be conducted in four districts of Eastern Nagaland on February 11, the Government would try to make another excuse that they have done for the backward tribes of the said four districts. On the other hand, they would start making backdoor appointments at the cost of the backward tribes of the said four districts of Eastern Nagaland.
Time has come for the people of Eastern Nagaland to really come up with white papers of the employments and other developments that has been since the inception of the Nagaland Statehood, so as to make confusions and misleading clear.
It is also regrettable that whenever people from the Eastern Nagaland raised certain issues pertaining to job reservation or lack of any developments, others feel otherwise, as if the State Government had done enough for them. As such in order to remove these misgivings among the communities living in the state, only white papers on job reservations, employments and developments in four districts of Eastern Nagaland is a must.
