DIMAPUR, FEBRUARY 14 (MExN): The Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee (NPCC) today stated that the NPF government is “fully responsible for the turn of events” and further slammed the “opportunistic central BJP leadership prolonging the crisis to fish in troubled waters.”
A press note from the NPCC stated: “No amount of their reasoning or justification will cover up the blatant failure leading to loss of three innocent lives, scores injured, damage to public property and hardships faced by the people during the past fortnight.”
It further condemned the “dithering and fiddling act of the Governor in the entire episode.” “What more evidence does the Governor need when innocent lives have been lost; numerous public property damaged, entire government offices closed and daily routine of the people are completely disrupted for the past two weeks. Is it not a complete breakdown of the state government machinery that warrants imposition of President’s Rule?” the NPCC questioned.
It observed that the “public spat between NPF factions is making matters worse and overshadowing the demands of the people.” It also claimed that the NPF and BJP “are two sides of the same coin.” NPF promised too many to the people of Nagaland but today their only achievement lie in dividing the Naga society, it added.
The NPCC meanwhile appealed to the NTAC, JCC, and apex tribe Hohos to ease the hardship of common people by lifting the restrictions on normal routine life including opening of educational institutions. “The inability of the government offices to function for the past two weeks and total ban on movement of government registered vehicles is itself enough to portray the total paralysis of the state government machinery,” it added.
