KOHIMA: The Naga Students’ Federation today resolved to launch a non-cooperation movement against the Manipur Government in support of the United Naga Council resolutions adopted on November 4 last at Senapati. UNC, the apex Naga body in Manipur has earlier decided to kick-start a non-cooperation movement against the Manipur government by way of refusal to pay house tax in its meeting.
Although, the Federation is yet to work out the modalities and decide the date, it said that they may resume the economic blockade, launched earlier against the Manipur Government’s decision to declare June 18 as State Integration day.
Perhaps, the resumption of non-cooperation by the apex students’ body may evoke another wave of anxiety and turmoil in Manipur. However, the Federation said that basing on its motto, standing for the Naga cause have become their moral duty. The NSF President, Pushika Aomi admitted that agitation, like the economic blockade, is too inhuman if viewed from the human rights angle, but asserted that Manipur should not be a hindrance to the peaceful integration of Nagas’ territories.
“Enough is enough”, is the message that the NSF conveyed to the Manipur Government, adding that it would leave no stone unturned to counter the propaganda projected by the latter to obstruct the integration of Naga areas. Meanwhile, the Federal Assembly decided to wait for the government to table the investigation report pertaining to the infamous NPSC scandal. The Federation has set November 10 as the last date for compliance to their ultimatum, failing which the students will resort to its own course of action, asserted the NSF. The Federation also said that it has decided to renew their fight against the superannuation issue or age tempering by the government officials.
