Dimapur, October 19 2015:
People of the North East staying or studying in the National Capital Region should consider the entire North East as a single entity and should be united throughout so that the mainland can consider the region as not only a separate entity within the country but also a force to be reckoned with, Chief Minister of Nagaland TR Zeliang said today while interacting with a group of students from the region in New Delhi.
"Why should we segregate ourselves on the lines of States when the mainland considers the individual States as insignificant ?" he asked.
"Nagaland, with a population of barely 20 lakh does not size up to a single block in populous States like UP or Bihar.
Likewise, barring Assam, all the other seven North Eastern States have very limited population.
