The Naga Students’ Federation (NSF) has put a halt to their protests against the vandalization of their office while resolving not to recognize the un-mandated Naga Club. The NSF has been protesting since their office was vandalized in Kohima in the early hours of Saturday and have been unsatisfied with the Nagaland Government’s failures to arrest all individuals involved in the incident. A seniors’ consultative meeting was held at Angami Public Organisation (APO) Conference Hall on Tuesday, where several resolutions were enacted. The NSF has resolved not to recognize the recently formed Naga Club, allowing the Naga people to decide if the Naga issue and political history should be owned or inherited by individuals. The Naga Club should not be exclusive but inclusive of all Nagas without borders. The students’ federation said that the Naga people should decide if the club is relevant and should come together as every tribal Hohos under one roof. Additionally, the NSF would extend support towards achieving that end and restructure the Naga Club while making sure that its ideology and principles would align with the memorandum submitted by the then Naga Club to the Simon Commission in 1929. The NSF has suspended its protests for the time being but will continue to push for justice.
