Statehood demand issue: Shah to meet ENPO leaders in Delhi on Dec 3

Highly placed sources informed Nagaland Post that ENPO had received a call from the Home minister’s office inviting them for a meeting to be held on December 3 in Delhi. It was learnt that chief minister Neiphiu Rio and some of his cabinet colleagues will also be attending the meeting.
The invitation gains significance as ENPO had thrown a spanner in the works by not only declaring to abstain from taking part in the scheduled State Assembly elections expected to be held in the early part of 2023, but to demand resignation of the 20 incumbent legislators from Eastern Nagaland region, and all political party workers, should the government of India fail to respond to their demand.
