Kohima: The Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee (NPCC) has maintained that AICC President Sonia Gandhi’s assurance of an early solution on February 7 was what the people have been waiting for so many turbulent years and accused the Nagaland Chief Minister of shifting responsibility by questioning the role of Congress party in the last 15-16 years of political negotiation,

In a release issued by Congress Media Cell alleged that the current negotiation between the Government of India and the Naga political group has been dragging for this far even after so many rounds of talks ‘partly because of the lack of sincerity in the avowed commitment made by the present government’. Stating that ‘the Naga people have had enough of their commitment’, it said the NPF can no more ‘befool the people’.

The NPCC again reiterated that its members had offered to resign en mass from their respective seats in the NLA so as to register strong feelings of the Naga people for peaceful, honourable and acceptable political solution at the earliest, but said the NPF-led DAN Government legislators under Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio had resisted the move in order to cling to their seats at all cost.

The Congress further accused the NPF of becoming ‘the harbinger of the emergence of different Naga political groups’ when it assumed the role of so called ‘facilitator’ between the GoI and the Naga political group, while adding that ‘it is the NPF party that is playing ‘high profile drama’ at the cost of solution to the long pending Naga political problem’. It said the claim of replacing the national emblem for the State of Nagaland so as to uphold the identity of Naga people is ‘too far fetched an idea’. (UNI)
