Nagaland Minister Temjen Imna Discusses Frontier Nagaland Territory Proposal
Nagaland Minister and BJP leader Temjen Imna announced that the state government may soon present a draft proposal for the Frontier Nagaland Territory (FNT). This follows concerns from the Eastern Nagaland People’s Organisation (ENPO) and the Eastern Nagaland Legislators’ Union (ENLU).
Speaking to reporters, Temjen Imna, who is also the Minister for Tourism and Higher Education, said, “It is the apprehension and the need of the Eastern Nagaland People’s Organisation (ENPO) to ask the state government to give the draft proposal, but the state government has very clearly made it fine, and I think the ENPO’s new way of coming and reaching out to the Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio and the State Cabinet, together with the Eastern Nagaland Legislators’ Union (ENLU) legislators, we are sure that the draft proposal may come up very soon.”
Imna emphasized the importance of ENPO and ENLU holding meetings to discuss feasible options, which will aid the Chief Minister and State Cabinet in finalizing the proposal. “But it has been made very evident that the ENLU and the ENPO should have their primary sitting on what is possible and what is not, because the legislators are the representatives of the ENPO people too. So, I think in that way, it will resonate better for the Chief Minister and the State Cabinet to assert better,” Imna added.
This statement came after a new member team of the ENPO, in a statement issued on September 20, reminded the state government to give its comment to the Ministry on the highlights of the draft proposal concerning the Frontier Nagaland Territory. The ENPO has been advocating for a separate state in Eastern Nagaland.
