Rio puts ENPO statehood demand in Delhi court
Times of India | Dimapur, Jun 28, 2011, 12.35am IST
Nagaland chief minister Neiphiu Riohas said the Eastern Naga People's Organization's demand for a separate state within the present state of Nagaland can be resolved only by the Centre and not his government.
"I told them categorically that some states were opposed to the creation of Nagaland as a full-fledged state. The issue was was debated in Parliament and MPs from Assam were against the idea. Despite this, the Centre went ahead with the creation of Nagaland. Now, it is up to New Delhi to decide whether there can be another state within the state.
The people of Nagaland should keep this in mind and there's no point fighting among themselves," the CM added. "One thing the Nagas should remember. They may stay in Myanmar, Manipur, Assam or Arunachal Pradesh. But wherever we are, we are Nagas first," Rio said.
