Following the appeal made by Nagaland Governor P.B Acharya and after a meeting held on Friday at Raj Bhavan, Eastern Naga Students’ Federation (ENSF) has temporarily suspended the proposed boycott of the Statehood Day celebration in the four districts– Tuensang, Mon, Longleng & Kiphire.
Informing this in a press release, ENSF president Shahsha. L. Menhahu and general secretary Honang. M. Jessuhu said the decision was made considering the appeal made by the Governor and in the larger interest of Nagas to honor the visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
ENSF acknowledged the concern expressed by the Governor that the Eastern areas (the then Tuensang & Mon districts) since the time of Late. P. Shilu Ao, first Chief Minister of Nagaland needed more attention.
ENSF also welcomed Governor’s decision to tour the four districts.
Meanwhile, ENSF said that it demanded “nothing less or more than the agreement made between the State Government and the ENSF on 26 November 2013”.
IN this regard, ENSF urged the state government “not to test the patience of the federation but to implement the agreement before 25th Jan 2015 in letter and in spirit”.
