Dimapur, October 19 2014:
The North East Students' Organisation (NESO) has submitted a five-point memorandum to Union minister of State for Home Kiren Rijiju on Saturday pertaining to the series of attacks on North East people in Delhi and other metropolitan cities in India.
The first NESO demand is for setting up of a Special Police Cell in all the Metros which would cater specifically to cases related to racial discriminations and atrocities on students and people from North East in line with the Delhi model, with a provision that it is manned by police officers from NE States.
NESO also demanded capital punishment of the perpetrators of the heinous crime at the earliest.
The memorandum of NESO also included the demand for inclusion of North East - its geographical location, its people, its culture, its ethos etc.
� in the syllabus of schools under all State Boards and Central Boards including the CBSE.
It also demanded a one time policy for recruitment of at least 5000 Delhi police personnel in the respective capitals of 8 NE States out of those thousands of police personnel recruited by Delhi police.
NESO also demanded the enactment of a stringent law to deal with crimes against the people
from North East.
According to NESO, although such incidents have been vehemently denounced by the government at different levels, the North Eastern community continue to suffer from the unabated attack and assault against their communities endlessly.
