Naga Hoho of Nagaland appeals to Center to revoke AFSPA

Kohima, Jun 8 (UNI) The Naga Hoho (NH), the apex body of all Naga tribes, today appealed to the Central Government to revoke the controversial Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) from Naga areas at the earliest.
In a statement issued by Nagas Hoho media cell felt that at this juncture, when political negotiations and peace process between Central Government and Naga people with the signing of the ramework agreement was in progress, to extend the Act, would only hamper the peaceful atmosphere in the Naga areas.
Hoho also criticised the successive governments irrespective of political parties in Delhi for remaining a mute spectator on the enactment of the draconian act, despite repeated appeals by Naga civil societies and human rights activists.
