The Eastern Naga Student Federation (ENSF) has submitted a memorandum and their findings on the Oting massacre to Meghalaya chief minister Conrad Sangma. 

A ENSF delegation met Meghalaya chief minister Conrad Sangma, who is also the national president of the NPP, late on Tuesday evening at Dimapur in Nagaland. 

Meanwhile, Conrad Sangma has reiterated his stand on the demand for repealing the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA).  “As people of Northeast, we reiterate our demand to repeal AFSPA,” Meghalaya CM and NPP national president Conrad Sangma said in Dimapur. 

CM Sangma said his personal stand and that of the NPP for the last 20 years has been against the imposition of the AFSPA in the Northeast.  He stressed that the Act should be repealed not only in Nagaland but in the entire Northeast region. 

“We want the AFSPA repealed in the entire Northeast as it is not helping the situation in the region and has proved to be counter-productive,” he said. 

There needs to be trust among all the stakeholders, he added. 

Earlier this month, a Special Forces unit of the Indian army ambushed a van carrying miners home after a day’s work in Oting, a village in the Mon district of Nagaland. Six miners were killed, several injured, and in the riotous protests and panic that followed, seven more civilians along with one army man were killed.
