North East Students' Organisation demands special status for NE
Times of India | TNN | May 31, 2012, 03.02AM IST, Guwahati
Citing that the region has been getting a raw deal since Independence, the North East Students' Organisation (Neso) on Wednesday demanded a special constitutional status for the entire region for rights over its natural resources. Besides, it will start a series of agitations from June 7 to highlight the burning issues plaguing the region.
"What we are witnessing is nothing but discrimination at every level since we gained Independence. We demand a special constitutional status for the region and its people and their rights over its natural resources. Article 370 grants special status to Jammu and Kashmir. There should special status for the northeast too. It has been seen that even parliamentary dignitaries visit J&K but not NE. Irom Sharmila and AFSPA hardly make any impact on them and the issues need to be solved only through peaceful and democratic means," said Samujjal Bhattacharya, the chairman of Neso.
