Kohima, May 27 (MExN): The Naga Students’ Federation (NSF) today said it will continue with the ongoing ban imposed on Manipur-bound vehicles on NH-39 (which began on May 4) following the failure of the Manipur Government to fulfilling the demands of the federation. The decision to this effect was taken in the emergency council meeting with tribunal members and action committee here along with 13 federating units and three subordinate bodies.
The federation served an ultimatum to the Manipur government, demanding the removal of 144 CrPc and demanding an unconditional apology from Manipur’s chief minister for restricting NSF leaders from entering beyond Moa-gate. Interacting with media persons, former NSF president Achumbemo Kikon said the federation will intensify the ongoing agitation. “No back off till our demand is fulfilled, and more course of action will be worked out soon” said Kikon.
On being asked about the ultimatum served by the All Manipur Students’ Union and Karbi Anglong District Council as reported, Kikon said it was all stage-managed for a “small junction” (Hojai) where Meiteis inhabit. The Karbi Anglong Students’ Union are extending strong backing to the NSF, he said. On the “leakage” on NH-53, NSF president Mutsikhoyo Yhobu said the watch will be ‘re-strengthened’.
