The Naga People’s Front (NPF) central youth wing today staged a sit in protest here in front of Raj Bhavan against Nagaland Governor, PB Acharya and demanded dismissal of the “unconstitutional government of TR Zeliang.”
The protest will continue till August 14 from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm daily. The agitators voiced that if the GoI considers Naga people as its citizens, the right form of Constitution should be made functional to run the Nagaland government.
Demanding that the centre recall the present Governor, the agitators stated: “The Governor being the Custodian of the Indian Constitution in the state should protect the state but instead, he is breaking every norm of the precious Constitution.”
MLA Yitachu maintained that the Governor has “lost his integrity and principle and is indulging himself in the mother of all corruption by installing an unconstitutional government.” “In no state, we expect a Governor like PB Acharya who is supposed to be the guardian of the law of the state to snatch away the rights of the people in this manner,” Yitachu said.
The MLA also reiterated that if the Governor thinks Naga people will not raise their rights for his unconstitutional politics then it will be his “biggest mistake and miscalculation.” He said that if the Governor thinks that the Indian Constitution protects the Naga people then he must immediately dislodge the TR Zeliang government.
He meanwhile took shots at the recently launched Democratic People’s Party (DPP), claiming Member of Parliament, Neiphiu Rio to be behind it. Rio is now trying to hijack and dismantle the whole NPF set up through money power, Yitachu alleged.
MLA R Tohanba meanwhile said that the Naga people will never accept the violation of the Indian Constitution by the Governor and the Speaker. He pointed out that in the NPF constitution, there is no Interim President post and only one president is mentioned which is occupied by Dr. Shürhozelie Liezietsu.
NPF Working President Huskha Yepthomi also reiterated the demand for the centre to recall the present Governor.
