DIMAPUR, FEBRUARY 10 (MExN): The Political Affairs Committee (PAC) of the Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee (NPCC) has reiterated today that the “Indo Naga political peace talks” have failed to provide any signs of a breakthrough even after 16 years, and has urged the Government of India and “the negotiating parties” to arrive at an early settlement without any further delay. This was stated in a press release from the NPCC’s PAC convenor, K.V. Pusa, and its member secretary, Joshua Sumi. The PAC has also demanded from the Government of Nagaland to “enforce the rule of law to curb the menace of unabated taxation imposed by various organisations that has severely crippled the state economy.” It further demanded of the State Government to impose a “total ban on all forms of illegal taxation carried out in the form of entry tax, wholesale tax, retail tax, syndicates, commission agents etc. on essential commodities to rescue the people from the clutches of unbearable miseries.”
