DIMAPUR, Dec 24 - Eastern Nagaland People�s Organisation (ENPO) has revived its demand for a separate State.
At a meeting with its federating units in Tuensang on December 21, ENPO unanimously resolved to urge the Government of India to respond to its demand for a separate State before declaration of election to Nagaland Assembly due early next year.
The meeting was called after two of the constituents of ENPO � Konyak Union (KU) and Phom Peoples� Council (PPC) � had asked for convening of the meeting to deliberate on boycotting the forthcoming Assembly poll to intensify their demand for a separate State known as �Frontier Nagaland� State. The meeting further declared to resort to agitational campaigns if Centre does not accede to the demand of ENPO.
ENPO also declared its support for an early declaration of an honourable Naga solution which should be acceptable and beneficial to all as desired by Naga public in general, a resolution passed at the meeting said.
The six tribes of ENPO also resolved to cooperate with the organisation. They have already rejected offer of autonomy.
In the event of Centre�s failure to respond to the demand, the meeting further resolved that if situation warrants the ENPO shall ask 20 elected members of Nagaland Assembly to immediately resign, the resolution said.
All the six tribal councils and six frontal organisations under ENPO � Eastern Nagaland Gazetted Officers Association, Eastern Nagaland Women Organisation, Eastern Nagaland Students� Federation, Eastern Nagaland Gaon Buras Union and Eastern Nagaland Dobhashi Union � attended the meeting.
