Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee (NPCC) President, K. Therie today said that the Congress in Nagaland is regional in content and national in outlook.
Speaking at the introductory programme for the new team of Nagaland Pradesh Youth Congress (NPYC) here at Congress Bhavan, he pointed out that NPCC is the only Congress Pradesh committee which has a separate constitution to guide and lead by. He therefore said that even All India Congress Committee (AICC) has no authority over the administration and usage of NPCC, as it is also provided under Article 371A.
He alleged that there are some people who want to form a third party, and termed them as ‘Suicide party’ as they cannot go back to Naga People’s Front (NPF) and they are scared of coming back to Congress.
“Our culture, our identity is at threat,” the NPCC President meanwhile warned, adding that the NPF has become only a facilitator for the BJP. “For the last 15 years, Nagas of Nagaland, we are not ruling, we are electing robots to rob us and to suppress us,” he said.
“Nagaland is under complete suppression, and people have no voice. We have a robot programme by some unknown people and these are the people leading us, they are not themselves, they are robots programmed to do something, to do some job, to talk something and they don’t have dreams for the people,” Therie stated.
He meanwhile informed that the Congress plans to file a petition in the Supreme Court to do away with the EVM system and instead use ballot papers, alleging there is evidence that EVMs can be manipulated.
