What is article 371a of indian constitution and how does it affect nagas
Answers
Answer:
apprehensions over the implications of development in Jammu & Kashmir on Nagaland. I would like to categorically assure you all that you don’t have to worry at all. Art 371A is a solemn commitment to the People of Nagaland. It is a sacred commitment. We are trying hard to conclude the on-going political process at a very advanced stage.”
Recently Naga students Federation (NSF) has asked its units across the state to hoist the Naga national flag to mark the 73rd Naga Independence Day on August 14. Several organisations including NSCN-IM use separate flag.

BJP’s ally JD(United) has expressed concern on the BJP led government’s move. Senchumo Lotha Chairman of North East Executive Council (NEEC) of JDU expressed its surprise and resentment at the sudden move by the Union Home Minister for revocation of the Article 370 without any proper and rational discussion within the NDA alliance partners as a prelude to such a drastic action.
In a statement the party stated ever since the issue had been on the forefront several years ago, the JDU had stood opposed to this proposal tooth and nail.
Even at this moment, the JDU reiterates its stand and vehemently oppose the repeal of the Article and hereby convey its strong objection to the undergoing action which has come as an ambush to many citizens of the country who are faithful to the world’s largest democracy and its established norms. This sudden action comes as a threat to all the special provisions within the constitution of India, especially, for the North eastern states which has been under the folds of various concessional provisions. These privileges have been given recognition and incorporated into the Indian constitution because they are inalienable to the very existence of the people of this region. Therefore, protection of these privileges becomes a birth right.
It added that JDU hopes that good sense will prevail even at this moment and the NDA will give time for reasoning in the true spirit democracy.
Nagaland deputy chief minister Y Patton, who is also in charge of home department asked the people not to panic and assured that all measures would be taken to ensure that Nagas remain protected.
Patton along with state BJP president Temjen Imna Along and other BJP legislators, he would leave for New Delhi after the ongoing Parliament session gets over to meet Union home minister Amit Shah and discuss the issues of the state.
