Dimapur, Nov. 14 (EMN): The Angami Public Organisation (APO) has reiterated its decision not to allow any ‘sort of protest, agitation or disruption’ under its jurisdiction. This was stated in a press release issued on Tuesday.
“This is reaffirmed so, with no ill will (sic) against any genuine demands made by various organisations. This declaration is made for the health of our ailing society to at least take a short break this festive season,” it stated.
According to the APO, ‘it is crucial to emphasise that most students are on the verge of their final examinations whose career and life can never be compromised under any circumstances’. Interestingly, it also stated: “It requires no reminder to exert that the creamiest layer of the Naga society from all Naga communities are residing in its capital who are the future of our society”.
The APO informed that it has “detailed the Angami Youth Organization to initiate necessary measures so that preparations and the festivities are not disrupted in any manner” while underscoring that it was “extremely important” to provide the students a peaceful environment ‘for which the Angami Students’ Union has been entrusted to oversee the wellbeing of all students’. The APO hoped that ‘good sense’ will prevail.
In a separate statement issued on Tuesday, the committee spearheading a proposed sit-in-protest at New Secretariat Junction in Kohima to demand implementation to Lokayukta in Nagaland has invited “citizens of Nagaland” to attend what it stated was an ‘indefinite’ stir. On Monday the same committee had issued a press release stating that the protest will be held for three days.
On Tuesday, the committee reiterated its appeal to the APO to exempt the proposed stir from the latter’s ban.
