On political party preference, he acknowledged individual liberty as a component of democracy and that it is not any party’s problem for ‘individual confusion.’
The minister also expressed serious concern on the rampant extortion which has dwarfed Naga society.
He termed it ‘double punishment’ and remarked that extortion is not part of naga nation and killing a naga by a naga is not freedom.
