NSF to take call on APO, KVC appeal soon

Following the joint appeal by the Angami Public Organisation (APO) and Kohima Village Council (KVC) to Naga Club (NC) and Naga Students’ Federation (NSF) to allow “any willing and voluntary third party” to mediate for restoring normalcy and bring about a meaningful reconciliation outside of the legal court at the earliest, the NSF said that it was considering their appeal.
While acknowledging APO and KVC, as two respected organizations in the State, NSF vice president Atokiho Sumi said the federation has taken note and was considering their appeal.
However, Atokiho said that the federation will take an appropriate decision during the emergency Federal Assembly or Presidential Council meeting of the federation, which will be held soon.
He further said that the federation will continue to function from the makeshift office setup outside the Naga Club building.
It may be mentioned that the APO and KVC said they were “deeply conscious of the likely long-term consequences” if the conflicts remained unresolved and inevitably become subjected to provocations and counter provocations. They also appealed to both the parties to “cease issuing press statements, say or do anything against each other which may only aggravate the situation.”
Further, they requested the Naga Club not to take up any activity at the site “if the current volatile public sentiments for and against.” APO and KVC also requested NSF to “withdraw FIR soonest possible” as a good gesture to find an amicable solution acceptable and honourable to both the parties.
