Demand for separate 'Frontier Nagaland' state picks up ahead of Assembly elections

Firstpost  

Eastern Nagaland, which sends 20 MLAs to the 60-members state Assembly has seen a movement for statehood since 2010 Kohima: The clamour for a separate state in eastern Nagaland has gained momentum ahead of the Assembly polls due early next year, with 20 MLAs from the region extending support to a call not to take part in any election until the demand was met. Eastern Nagaland Peoples’ Organisation, an influential body in the region, held a joint consultative meeting with politicians, seven tribal bodies and other organisations from the region on 26 August in Dimapur, where they resolved not to take part in any election until their demand for a separate state of ‘Frontier Nagaland’ was met. The Assembly election to the 60-member House in Nagaland is due in February next year, while the Supreme Court has also directed the state government to conduct polls to all urban local bodies by January as those are due for more than 12 years. The statehood agitation is a people’s movement and we are all with them,” CL John, the Eastern Nagaland Legislators’ Union secretary and advisor for Land Resources, told PTI.
