Naga Students' Federation warns members against participating in demonstration supporting ‘unjust’ regularisation

• DIMAPUR — The Naga Students' Federation (NSF) has issued a directive to its federating units and subordinate bodies, opposing the planned demonstration scheduled for April 21 in support of the regularisation of 147 assistant professors under the department of Higher Education.
• 
  
• In a notification issued on Saturday, the federation reiterated its opposition to this “one-time dispensation,” which bypasses due process and open recruitment.
• 
  
• “This move, executed in blatant disregard of the federation's appeals and representations, reflects a gross miscarriage of justice and undermines the future of thousands of deserving and qualified aspirants across the state,” the NSF stated.

• The directive called upon all NSF members to refrain from participating in or endorsing any demonstration that seeks to justify or normalise the “unjust regularisation process.”

• “Participation in the demonstration would constitute a clear violation of the stand and principles of the Naga Students’ Federation and will be viewed with utmost seriousness,” it warned.
• 
  
• The NSF reiterated its demand for the immediate revocation of the Cabinet decision and called for all sanctioned posts to be requisitioned to the Nagaland Public Service Commission.

• The NSF instructed all its federating units and subordinate bodies to remain vigilant and uphold the collective interest of the student community during this critical time.
