The Nagaland Pradesh Youth Congress (NPYC) today celebrated 100th birth anniversary of Indira Gandhi with the children of Kohima Orphanage & Destitute Home.
NPYC president Vilhousielie Kenguruse stated that as soon as Indira Gandhi took over Prime Minister, she inherited ceasefire agreement and had six rounds of talks with FGN/NNC delegates.
“The talks broke down but then during her term, revolutionary government of Nagaland had signed and solved part of the problem. It was then, the NNO (forerunner of Congress party) joined INC with 10 points modalities, giving Nagaland a special place in the nation,” Kenguruse stated. He claimed that Indira Gandhi had given the highest respect to the Nagas’ noble cause, adding during her life Shillong Accord was signed and over 700 political prisoners were released from various jails.
Stating that she was fearless and able leader, Kenguruse said the NPYC on behalf of all Congress men and women and the people of Nagaland “pay our solemn respect and remember her in this 100th birth anniversary.”
