Rio terms Ibobi enemy of Nagas
K Sarojkumar Sharma, TNN | Jan 22, 2012, 12.52AM IST | Chandel:
Nagaland chief minister Neiphiu Rio on Saturday termed Manipur chief minister Okram Ibobi Singh the enemy of Nagas. Addressing an election rally of the Naga People's Front (NPF) here, Rio said, "If you elect Ibobi, he will always be the enemy of Nagas, tribals and backward people."
"Manipur CM's step was illegal, undemocratic and unconstitutional. The NPF is now contesting the assembly polls as the Election Commission has given recognition to the party," he said. The NPF is raising the demand for the integration of all Naga-inhabited areas of the northeast under one administrative roof. It is also backing the United Naga Council (UNC)'s demand for an alternative administrative arrangement for the Naga-dominated areas of Manipur.
Saying the NPF was only seeking the rights of Nagas, Rio said, "We are fighting for our rights. We are not against any political parties, tribes or Meiteis."
