Naga Students’ Federation (NSF) has announced that it would be launching phase-wise agitation against the imposition of the “draconian law in the guise of the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) and Disturbed Areas Act (DAA).”
In this regard, the NSF has directed all its federating and sub-ordinate units to display/wear black badges in all the educational institutions in Naga inhabited areas from August 3-5, 2016 as part of phase-I agitation.
Further, Naga Students’ Federation directed all the federating and sub-ordinate units to supervise the implementation of the proposed phase-I agitation in their respective jurisdictions.
In the press release, NSF general secretary Boveio Puokai Duo stated that this was resolved during the consultative meeting held between Naga Hoho, Naga Mothers’ Association (NMA), Naga Students’ Federation (NSF), NPMHR and units of NSF.
At the meeting, the house noted that despite apex organisations on many occasions appealed and sent petitions for repealing the Act, the government failed on its part to address the matter.
DNSU directs
Dimapur Naga Students’ Union (DNSU), as directed by the NSF, has requested all the students of educational institutions within the jurisdiction of Dimapur Naga Students’ Union to wear black badges as a sign of protest and resentment against the Government of India for imposing the “draconian laws” DAA and AFSPA in the state of Nagaland.
