Don’t skip polls: MLAs of Eastern Nagaland appeal to people

Kohima: A day after ENPO reiterated its decision not to take part in the Lok Sabha elections until its demand for a separate state carved out of Nagaland is fulfilled, all 20 legislators from the eastern part of the state appealed to the people to participate in the polls.
Eastern Nagaland Legislators Union (ENLU), in a statement issued on Tuesday evening, said as elected representatives of the people, they are mindful of the resentment over not fulfilling the Frontier Nagaland Territory demand but abstention from the Lok Sabha polls would hinder progress of the talks.The lone Lok Sabha seat in the state will go to polls on April 19. “Since the current status of the Frontier Nagaland Territory has been made known to the people through a working paper, let us be pragmatic and insightful in looking forward with good intentions...” the ENLU said.
