Brachin National Union (BNU) demands 'Greater autonomy' for North East states
Nagaland Post | Imphal, Apr 25
In the backdrop of Centre’s reported plan for offering “greater autonomy of Nagas of Northeastern states”, the Brachin National Union (BNU), a Manipur based civil society demanded greater autonomy for the 36 ethnic communities living in Manipur, in a memorandum submitted to the Union home minister P Chidambaram.
In the memorandum signed by its president R.K. Ranjit Singh and faxed to Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) Tuesday, BNU recalled that the civil organization existing since 1982 in the state has been demanding greater autonomy of Northeast states to prevent secessionists and terrorist activities.
It asserted that, the idea of greater autonomy to a single community, Naga, neglecting other communities of Manipur, Assam and Arunachal Pradesh may be termed as undermining of India’s federal structure and institutions established by the Constitution of India.
