Naga Students’ Federation threaten intensification of Manipur blockade
By ANIFriday, May 28, 2010
Kohima, May 28: The Naga Students’ Federation (NSF) has warned to intensify the ongoing Bandh on all the Manipur vehicles in Naga inhabited areas.
The bandh was called following the decision of Manipur State Government to prevent the Naga students federation from going to Oinam village for the May 7 State Assembly.
However, assuring that no innocent Meitei living in Nagaland would be harassed or harmed, the NSF leaders have blamed the Ibobi government for the problem.
Members of the NSF have expressed their anger at the Ibobi government for not responding to the NSF demand for the apology.
NSF President Mutsikhoyo Yhobu has started that the federating units endorsed and extended full support to its decision.
Achumbemo Kikon, a former NSF leader said there would be no backing out of the demand.
Reacting to the movement of hundreds of vehicles to Imphal through the National Highway-53, the NSF has said that some leaders of its subordinate body, ANSAM and its unit AZSU, were arrested while enforcing the bandh.
More volunteers would be sent to enforce the bandh.
In all, representatives of 13 federating units and three subordinate bodies of the NSF attended the emergency Presidential Councils meeting held on Thursday, the report stated. (ANI)
