NSF clarifies stand on ILP bills issue

Naga Students Federation (NSF) Thursday said it was compelled to clarify on the allegation that NSF was in support of the three bills passed by the Manipur government during the North East Students’ Organization (NESO) meeting held in Guwahati on May 17, 2016.  
NSF president, Subenthung Kithan and general secretary, Boveio Poukai Duo clarified that the allegation was “baseless” as the NESO meeting never discussed on the three bills and that NSF in no way would support the bills since it was anti-tribal. 
The federation also stated that during the North East Students’ Organization meeting, it was decided to submit a memorandum to Prime Minister through the respective state governors on influx of illegal immigrants. 
However, it was unfortunate that some elements have alleged and dragged the name of NSF in the infamous three anti-tribal people bills, NSF said.  
While reminding that the NSF had been fighting and would continue to fight against any kind of acts or bills passed against the interest of the Nagas, irrespective of the artificial/arbitrary boundaries, the federation warned that it would not tolerate against any organization or individual with vested agenda trying to distort the facts and twist the story.
