Slur on Arunachal MLA fuels ‘know northeast’ campaign
The Hindu
Students, academics, professionals, politicians and activists across eight northeastern States join hands
A Punjab-based has fuelled a ‘know northeast’ campaign that is scheduled to culminate in a two-hour Twitter storm on Friday. Students, academics, professionals, politicians and activists across the eight northeastern States – Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim and Tripura – have launched the campaign to bombard the microblogging site with #AchapterforNE and #NortheastMatters from 6-8 p.m. The campaign, tagging @PMOIndia, @HMOIndia, @MEAIndia, @ncert, @cbseindia, @PIBHRD and @DrRPNishank, is intended to push the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) for inclusion of a comprehensive chapter on the Northeast.More Related News
