Nagaland Par Secy says court verdict on Women Reservation misinterpreted

Kohima, Jun 21 (UNI) Nagaland Parliamentary Secretary for Municipal Affairs, Economics and Statistics R Tohanba has maintained that there was a lot of misinterpretation in the media, regarding the 33 per cent women reservation in urban local bodies.
Inaugurating a road at Jasokie Colony in United North Block of Burma Camp in Dimapur, Mr Tohanba said, “Court verdict is still pending and so far, there is no such indication from the Court that the municipality election has to go for 33 per cent women reservation."
"Without mentioning any name, the Parliamentary Secretary blamed a 'particular section of people', who were not cooperating and owing to which, election to urban local bodies could not be held," he said.
There is no row at position 0.
