Dimapur, Jan. 7 (EMN): The Rengma Students’ Union and the Rengma Selo Zi have suggested to the Nagaland state government to deliver the ‘genuine demand’ of the Rengma community to create a Tseminyu district before the state’s assembly elections.
A joint statement from the two organisations on Sun. read: “With the announcement of the Nagaland State Assembly Elections expected anytime after which no decisions can be taken, the Rengma Students’ Union and Rengma Selo Zi appeal to the government to deliver the long awaited legitimate district demand of the Rengmas, failing which it will be deemed as negligence and discrimination on the part of the government”.
They appealed to the chief minister and his cabinet to immediately take up the matter for consideration on priority. “The RSZ and RSU, resting its faith and hope in the wisdom and capacity of the government pray that the government will deliver justice and due recognition which is far overdue.
“The RSZ and RSU also regretfully caution that on failure of the government to do its part in due time, the RSZ and RSU will be compelled to use any form of agitation and expression of displeasure including resuming of ‘the suspended bandh’ for which the government will be held responsible,” it stated.
