Dimapur, February 21 (MExN): The NPCC today stated that it is seriously concerned over the unrest in the districts of Tuensang and Kiphire and condemned the double murder at Shamator and the ensuing violence that occurred in the region.
The issues are not new ones but are all age-old issues which have escalated during NPF rule, alleged the Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee President K Therie in a press note received here.
The State Congress chief further maintained that the elected Members who represent the people in these districts are “fully aware of the inner root cause” and thus there is no “reason why they cannot find solution” if they are “sincere to provide peace and a harmonious society.”
Therie also questioned the apparent political indecisiveness over the issue and said, “In our consideration on the complexity of the issue, it requires political decision and not merely judicial decision.”
“We gather information that the Members of the day claim that it is a family problem. If so, they should have resolved without waiting for the situation to escalate to the present condition”, he further posed adding the Members have failed in their mission.
In this regard, it argued that the State Government should have the political will to decide and also to handle the situation with a firm hand.
It also urged the government to ban all private militia and if necessary call in the paramilitary forces to control the situation.
The NPCC also appealed “each and every individual” to grow peace within their hearts “which is the way forward to achieving lasting peace” adding the Nagas are “politically, socially and economically interdependent and our lands will remain interlocked for generations to come as has been for generations before.”
It further assured to extend its support if the Government brings any positive steps that is good for all the parties.
