Dimapur, February 12 (MExN): The Nagaland State Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has appealed the JCC and NTAC leaders to come to the negotiating table with the government “in the spirit of understanding and forgiveness”. A press release from the party informed of a joint consultative meeting of party legislators and senior leaders of the party on February 12 at Kohima to deliberate on the present scenario in the state.
The party stated the DAN government had already agreed and complied to the demands of the JCC to postpone and thereafter nullified the ULB elections and had published the same in the Nagaland Gazette.
The State BJP reminded the JCC and the NTAC that the stalemate on the above issue has created “tremendous hardships” for the public, particularly old aged citizens, students appearing exams, daily wage earners, pensioners, salaried employees and dependants, patients, travelers etc. besides blocking important government services.
“The BJP legislators and State BJP senior leaders therefore appeal the JCC and NTAC leaders of the civil society, that the issue, having run its full course, and in the spirit of understanding and forgiveness, come to the negotiating table with the government and resolve the matter amicably for the society to resume normal life at the earliest,” the statement appealed.
Sources informed that two elected representatives of the BJP, Mmhonlumo Kikon and Imtilemba Sangtam, could not attend today’s meeting due to health concerns.
