Rengma Nagas demand apology from Himanta
Assam Tribune | Dimapur, Nov 21
The Rengma Hoho, Rengma GBs Association and Rengma Naga Public Organisation Karbi Anglong have demanded an apology from Assam Health Minister and Spokesman Dr Himanta Biswa Sarma for his reported statement “there are no other Naga areas in Assam and only some Zeme Nagas in the North Cachar Hills district. The few Nagas who stay in other parts of the State are encroachers and not inhabitants.”
Maintaining that the Nagas have every right to live under one administrative unit because the chunks of Naga inhabited areas alongwith the populations were illegally transferred into adjoining States of Assam, Manipur and Arunachal Pradesh during the British rule for their administrative convenience, the statement pointed out that the 16-Point Agreement arrived at between the Government of India and the Naga People’s Convention in 1960 also stated that the contiguous Naga inhabited areas and forest areas shall be consolidated, if they so desire.
