NSF demands repeal of Central Rule

Kohima, Jan 13 (UNI) The Naga Students' Federation (NSF), apex body of all Naga tribes, today demanded repeal of the President's Rule in the state saying that this will empower the security forces to commit more atrocities on the civilians.

NSF president Imchatoba Imchen in a press release here has expressed his resentment over the imposition of Central rule in the state at a time when the federation was continuously struggling against the Armed Forces Special Power Act, 1958.

He said these policies were against the very articulate provisions of the Constitution and fundamental rights of the citizens.

Taking note of the ongoing political talks and peace processes between the Centre and Nagas, Mr Imchen said,''Any policy that harms the atmosphere of trust and confidence is a direct infringement to the peoples sentiments and a threat to the peaceful atmosphere prevalent during the ongoing period of cease-fire.''
