DIMAPUR, JANUARY 9 (MExN): The Naga National Party (NNP) of Imphal, Manipur has come out against the ‘harried imposition of Central Rule in Nagaland just at the eve of the state Assembly Election’, terming it as very unfortunate and ill-timed. The party said that this dismantling of democratically set up government by the Congress led UPA Government is an act of undermining the wishes of people of Nagaland in particular and India in general.
The president of the party, Ng. Hungyo, in a press statement said that the NNP the uncertain scenario of Naga issue cannot be solved by PR as it is not in the interest of the people by solely for the advantage of the Congress party. “It is simply the repeatation of the infamous policy of the Congress party who have undermined and ignored the genuine interest and aspiration of the Nagas right from the time of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru”, Hungyo struck out. The NNP further accused that the PR is one-sided and the dictatorship nature of the Congress led UPA is exposed.
The release further states that the PR in any North Eastern States would not solve any law and order or insurgency related problem but may create more problems instead jeopardize the wishes of the people for peace and lasting solution through their own democratically elected people’s government.
The party communicated strong opposition to the imposition of “Army Rule” like PR in any part of the country and stated that any government, either of one party or coalition led by a regional political party should be installed in Nagaland and other North East states so that the region will be uplifted in all areas.
