Naga People's Front Supports Women's Quota Amid Delimitation Concerns in Nagaland

The Naga People's Front (NPF) supports the proposed 33% women's reservation in legislatures and Parliament, emphasizing fair implementation. Nagaland MLA Hekani Jakhalu highlighted the importance of women's reservation, noting progress beyond patriarchal norms and successes in urban local bodies. However, Lok Sabha MP Supongmeren Jamir cautioned against linking women's quota with delimitation, warning it may delay reforms and affect Northeast political representation, urging respect for constitutional provisions and regional agreements.
