Naga supra state body: now Assam raises objection
IBN Live | PTI | Guwahati, Nov 18
After Manipur, it is the turn of the Assam government to raise objection to the Centre's reported suggestion of granting a 'supra state body' status to the Nagas settled across the Northeastern region.
"The Assam government will take no steps which will affect the state's geographical boundary," government spokesman and minister Dr Himanta Biswa Sarma told reporters here today. "Some of Assam's areas were under the occupation of Nagaland," he said.
Earlier, Manipur Chief Minister Okram Ibobi Singh had wrote to the Centre seeking clarification on media reports that the government was considering granting a 'supra state body' status to Nagas living in Assam, Nagaland, Manipur and Arunachal Pradesh to enable them preserve their culture, identity and customary laws under one body.
