Demand of ‘Frontier Nagaland’ based on civil rights: ENPO

Kohima: The Eastern Nagaland People’s Organisation (ENPO) on Friday clarified that the demand of “Frontier Nagaland” is clearly based on “domestic problems and historical right with no ill intention to any particular community or group”. The apex body of six Naga tribes said this at the civic reception of Nagaland governor RN Ravi held at the Nagaland Baptist Church Council (NBBC) Convention Centre in the Secretariat in Kohima on Friday.

Extending greetings to the new governor, ENPO president Kekongchim Yimchunger said: “ENPO appreciate[s] your pragmatic approach and dedication in the ongoing Naga political talks between the Naga political groups and the government of India under your able and visionary and leadership.”

“For ENPO, the word Nagaland is so dear to us that we had put forward our demand as ‘Frontier Nagaland’ which clearly signifies that we are still Naga inspite of our demand. What a blessing it would be if we had two Nagaland!” Yimchunger added.
