To HOLD black badge campaign on Aug 15
Opposing the decision of the Centre in declaring the entire Nagaland as ‘Disturbed Area’ and subsequently bringing forward the ‘Disturbed Area Act’ along with AFSPA, Central Nagaland Students’ Association (CNSA) has decided to carry out a “black badge” campaign on August 15 at Dimapur coinciding with the Independence Day.
Talking to the mediaperson at Lotha Hoho Ki, CNSA president Charles Lotha on Wednesday appealed for the withdrawal of DAA. He said this was the “popular demand of the Nagas of Nagaland”.
He also criticized the government of India for taking advantage of the situation following the abrogation of cease-fire by NSCN (K) and by making the people of Nagaland a scapegoat.
He said, since most of the factions in Nagaland engaged in peace process, there was no need for Centre to take such a harsh decision. Charles said though various organizations have condemned the decision, unfortunately not many had come forward physically to protest against it.
He assured that the campaign would be held in a peaceful manner, without any rally, that would affect normal life in the city.
He was positive that the campaign would send a send a strong message to the Centre that Nagaland wants the Act to be removed immediately. Charles further made it clear that the campaign was not driven by tribalism.
In this regard, Central Nagaland Students’ Association appealed to all organizations to come forward and join the campaign for a common goal.
