Kohima:  The Naga Students’ Federation (NSF) has urged every Naga to extend cooperation and support to the federation and other student bodies, groups and organizations working relentlessly to tackle the menace of Illegal Bangladeshi Immigrants (IBIs) and convened a consultative meeting in Dimapur on February 24 at IMC Hall, various apex Naga organizations, NGOs, GBs &DBs, DCCI, students’ body, colony/ward leaders and Survival Nagaland.
In a press release, NSF President Tongpang Ozukum and Finance Secretary Shikavi Achumi said IBI issue was very sensitive and complex issue as ‘our own people were harbouring and giving them at the expense of ‘our future generation.’
It reminded the Nagas that tackling the issue of IBIs was a battle that Nagas must fight together in order to safeguard blood, identity and future of younger generation.
The federation said that in order to cleanse the society from the danger, threat and menace of IBIs,  every Naga has got certain duties and responsibilities. ‘Be it politicians, Government officials, church leaders, Naga Political Groups (undergrounds), contractors, NGOs and civil societies, village councils or ward/colony leaders, Gaon Burhas and Dobhasis, we all have to discharge our moral responsibilities in tackling this issue,’ said NSF, adding that Nagas would otherwise be fighting a lost battle.
Maintaining that its ongoing tour to entire Naga inhabited areas was not just for ‘name sake’ but with a purpose, NSF said it shared the areas of concern with the apex Tribal Hohos, women organizations, Gaon Burhas, Dobhasis, business community, town ward and colony leaders.
NSF at the same time sought their constructive suggestions and opinions, support and cooperation in order to effectively tackle this sensitive issue.
The federation assured to lay strong and effective mechanism to effectively tackle the menace of IBSs after the ongoing tour was over.
Condemning the Naga political groups (NPGs) for allegedly using the services of IBIs and non-locals in different ranks and files, the federation also questioned the integrity of NPGs for allowing and accepting people of Bangladeshi origin and non-locals operate on their behalf. (UNI)
