JDU urges GoI
DIMAPUR, OCTOBER 22 (MExN): The Nagaland State unit of the Janata Dal United (JDU) has appealed to the Government of India and all Naga political groups to “avoid confrontational and accusatory statements in the public domains” but “take time to give each other enough opportunities to overcome the difficulties that are seemingly obstructing the road to honourable solution.”
A press release issued by the publicity cell of the JDU reminded that the Naga people living in different administrative units have longed desired for peaceful solution based on the principle of the uniqueness of the Naga history. “Honourable and acceptable solution can be only achieved in an atmosphere which is not vitiated by coerciveness and mistrusts,” it stressed.
As such, the party called upon all negotiating parties to be “sincere and committed to the synopsis which has been agreed upon as a prelude to full peace negotiations.”
“There should be no room for threats and intimidation based on might and advantages which will only result in an unwelcomed decision. Moreover, all parties must also keep in mind that the mandate of the people should be the primary concern while safeguarding each other’s ideologies and positions,” it added.
The JDU Nagaland meanwhile reminded that the party’s founder, Jaya Prakash Narayan was also one of the pioneers and member of the first Peace Mission, and had sincerely worked for bringing an honourable solution for the Nagas.
