Press Conference to be held at Press Club of India , May 13
- NSUD (Naga Student's Union, Delhi) -
New Delhi, 12 May 2010
The NSUD in view of the volatile situation in Nagaland and Naga inhabited regions in Manipur would like to hold a Press Conference to give a detailed briefing to the Press consortium.
The unrest due to the stationing of Manipur Commandos and the Indian Reserve Battalion in Naga inhabited areas in the guise of blocking Th. Muivah from going to his ancestral village despite the approval of the Government of India and the subsequent disallowing by the Manipur Government which led to peaceful dharnas by the Naga people leading to the random firing by the commandos and the IRB at a women’s rally resulting to the death of 2 students and injuring 100 others at Mao Gate on the 6th of May.
This led to the displacing of more than 90% of the villagers with more than 1000 villagers taking refuge at Kisama in Nagaland. We would like to brief on the peaceful ways the Naga leaders have held talks with the Government Of India and the Nagas’ faith and commitment on the peaceful negotiations which has been time and again challenged by the dominant Government of Manipur with certain groups joining in creating communal disparity and continuing tension.
There have been several rallies and peaceful dharnas in and around the country by the various Naga Students Unions and other organizations appealing to the Central Government for immediate attention and solution.
The conference will be briefed by the Naga Member of Parliaments in Delhi, the resigned Naga MLAs from Manipur and Naga leaders on the history and the extension of the talk.
The Press Conference will be held at the Press Club of India, 1, Raisina Road from 16:00 to 17:30 hours on 13th. May.2010
