Kohima, Sep 17 : An apex Naga students' body today expressed serious concern over the action of Nagaland police personnel on demonstrators of All Assam Students' Union (AASU) in Golaghat district of the neighboring state.
Outrightly condemning the police brutality, Naga Students' Federation (NSF) asserted that such attitude towards the peaceful demonstrators was totally "an act of disrespect".
"The federation, therefore, invokes the conscious of the authority concerned and the police personnel to restrain from such unwanted situation especially towards our neighbouring state in order to avoid creating any misunderstanding as we are living in peaceful co-existence," a statement issued by NSF said.
While extending its solidarity to the injured protesters and support towards the demand of the AASU, the NSF also urged upon the Nagaland government to seriously examine the incident and take up necessary action.
Twenty people were injured, some of them seriously, when IRB personnel of Nagaland police passing through Golaghat district unleashed baton charge on demonstrators who blocked the NH-39 on Wednesday demanding improvement of a link road near Rangajan Tinali.
