ITANAGAR, Mar 23: Taking strong exception in wake of reports of racial discrimination meted out to the people of the Northeast, the North East Students’ Organization (NESO) has urged the central government to put in place all necessary arrangements in order to ensure the physical and emotional well-being of the Northeast community now settled in various parts of the country.
In its press statement NESO has also urged all the NE Chief Ministers to actively liaise with their counterparts in various states in order to ensure that the perpetrators of hate crimes are brought to book. It is relevant to mention that, since the outbreak of Covid-19 pandemic in the country, a series of reports of violent attacks and racial discrimination against the students and people from the region has surfaced and are on the rise. “The humiliations they are undergoing apart from the mental distress of staying away from their loved and dear ones, does not augur well for the diverse country that India is,” the release added.
NESO represents eight major students’ unions of the region which comprises the All Arunachal Pradesh Students' Union (AAPSU), All Assam Students' Union (AASU), Khasi Students' Union(KSU), Naga Students' Federation (NSF), Mizo Zirlai Pawl (MZP), Twipra Students' Federation (TSF), All Manipur Students' Union (AMSU) and Garo Students' Union (GSU).
