In Nagaland, the conflict between the C.M. T R Zeliang and the rest of the state has taken a violent form when two of the volunteer of the urban local body elections late Bendangnungsung and late Kriesavizo were shot in Police firing on 31st Jan 2017. Various tribal representatives have formed Nagaland Tribe action Committee. The committee has said to the Governor that they will not bury the bodies without the reply of the state government regarding the demands of the Committee. However the Governor of Nagaland, Mr. PB Acharya has told the committee that they will take actions against as per the constitution and has shown deep grievances towards the people died and injured.
1. The Chief Minister along the council should resign.
2. The Urban Local Body election held presently should be declared null and void.
3. The erring police officer and personnel should be suspended immediately.
The main demand of the Committee are-
1. The Chief Minister along the council should resign.
2. The Urban Local Body election held presently should be declared null and void.
3. The erring police officer and personnel should be suspended immediately.
However, no positive reply has been given by the Govt which is giving more oxygen to the violence. The Kohima municipal office was set ablaze by the Naga tribes.
WHAT CREATED THIS PROBLEM-
However, the main issues behind this trouble are the 33% reservation for the women in the Urban Local Body elections which is not getting support from the male dominated Naga.
All the major organisation appealed the state government to not hold the elections and to withdraw the reservation for the women.
However, the state government announced the notification of the elections along with the reservation for the women against the will of the state, which resulted in chaos.
A number of organisations have declared that the one who will support the election and reservation will be declared anti-naga. They said it will be against the Article 371 A of the Indian constitution which provides special privilege to the Nagaland and its customary laws. This special status is the result of Nagas struggle and sacrifices and anyone going against it will we declared anti naga and will be excommunicated.
The case has been listened by the SC over 18 occasions and the previous Advocate General has pleaded the court that this infringes upon the article 371 A.
