Naga Students’ Federation perturbed by split in NSCN (R)

Dimapur, Nov. 20 (EMN): The Naga Students’ Federation (NSF) has said that it is perturbed by the split of the NSCN (R) which happened at a critical juncture when the entire Naga people are striving towards unity to pave way for a peaceful settlement to the protracted Indo-Naga political issue.

The federation said in a press statement that the student community and Naga youths staunchly discourage such moves that can disrupt the Naga political settlement process and further divide the Naga people.

“We urge upon all the Naga Political Groups (NPGs) to shed their differences and come on a common platform, to find the best possible path and solution in the present political circumstances, without losing sight of the unique political history of the Nagas for lasting peace in the region,” it stated.

It added that the palpable differences in ideology and approach within and amongst various ranks and files of NPGs have harmed the society despite the gains achieved on the negotiating table.

While lauding the NPGs for their contributions and achievements in the Naga issue, it requested them to unite for the younger generation.
