Dimapur, September 24 2014:
The Naga Hoho, the apex Naga civil society organisation has asked the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) for a probe on the alleged racial discrimination meted out to the people from the North East India at a hotel in Ahmedabad, Gujarat.
The Naga Hoho strongly resents the prohibitory orders issued to the North Eastern staffers of a hotel in Ahmedabad, Gujarat where they were told "to stay away from the hotel premises during the stay of Chinese Premier Xi Jingpin" .
The apex Naga body said, the decision of excluding North Easterns at the hotel no doubt comes from a top level, be it the Chinese or the Indian security agencies.
The Naga Hoho stated that whichever agency has imposed this segregationist order against North Easterners shouldn't let go as a forgivable error.
The Ministry of Home Affairs should probe and take appropriate action and measures immediately.
The irony of this ugly episode is that when the Chinese First Lady visited Tagore International School, she was rather embarrassed by a Class VII student, Albert Ginsangmuam, from Manipur, a mongoloid race, when he confidently said that he was an Indian and not Chinese although he was dressed all desi desi, his same race down south in India were denied entry even in their own work place.
The Naga Hoho then said the border row between Indo-China in the form of displaying banners to one another catches the eye of every media house, departments, individuals across India, however it is very unfortunate on the part of each and every Indian when they lose their head, heart, and voice against those agency(s) and persons who encourages, favours or practices segregation like the current prohibitory order issued against North Eastern staffers working at the hotel in Ahmedabad, Gujarat.
