Dimapur, October 12 (MExN): The Naga People’s Front (NPF) defends the “special recruitment drive” of the Nagaland government saying it was meant only to “bridge the gap between the reserved and non-reserved sections.” The NPF denounced the Congress Legislature Party leader for “politicizing“the issue and said the opposition is a “negative opposition.”
The central NPF issued a press release today responding to what the party called “misleading and divisive” statements of “the opposition leader.” NPF Secretary General KG Kenye appended the press release. According to the NPF, the policy of the “SRD” was undertaken with best intentions and to give more opportunities to the “backward and less-privileged tribe.” The entire exercise, the party said, was “within the norms of the government” as is it being consistent with the policy of the Government of India to “bridge the gap between the reserved and non-reserved” sections of the state.
“Though ten posts of EACs may not have made a huge difference on the disparities between the advance and backward tries it would surely have increased the presence and role of the backward and less-privileged tribes in the working of the government machinery considering the fact that the civil service is the prime service of the state government,” the NPF press release said.
The NPF government, the party asserted further, is ‘dedicated to uplift of the “backward” and “less-privileged” and would continue to endeavor on it. “The NPF also feels that it is the common goal of all sections of the people to work collectively for upliftment of all members of the Naga family with an accommodative spirit,” the party said.
On the opposition Congress, the press release said, the party asserted that “the opposition leader” has used the issue as “another cheap opportunity” to garner political mileage. ‘Such politicizing creates divisions and polarization of the Nagas. The Congress has done nothing but try to politicize every issue, exposing its role as an ineffective but try to negative opposition failing to deliver its responsibility of a constructive opposition,” the NPF said. The party remarked that the decades of Congress rule had “landed us into greater disparities which the present DAN government is struggling to overcome.”
The NPF also referred to the placement and regularization of teachers. The Nagaland government initiated various steps to streamline the Education department to “ensure a more effective and better performing education system,” the NPF said. According to the party, the government is making efforts to place teachers in areas “where they are fluent and comfortable with the local language instead of the earlier practice of random posting.”
Such efforts, the NPF said, cannot be implemented overnight. “Therefore there is no question of so-called ‘reverting Cabinet decision,’ but rather the series of decisions are aimed at the greater interest of improving the overall system of education in the state keeping in view the secure future of the younger generation,” the party added.
