PCC member remarks on comment of ENPO issue

Dimapur, January 24 (MExN): Reacting to statements made earlier by MP and the NPF party president who also is the senior most minister in the present DAN ministry’ made on the ENPO issue, PCC member, Sevotso Seyie through a press note said that the statements made, have surprised everyone beyond comprehension.
“What has prompted them to make such blank statements-no comment on the ENPOs issue on the pretext of not having seen the memorandum submitted to the Prime Minister of India or ENPOs issue is between New Delhi and ENPO only,” questioned the PCC member and further stated “as if, the state government has no moral responsibility or concern at all on the issue is rather insulting those aggrieved tribes all the more.”
He also stated that ‘they’ are our veteran Naga-leaders who hold such important posts both at the centre and the state government and therefore, are expected to be harping on peace and unity, and also shaping the destiny of the Naga peoples future, but regrettably they have become so immature, timid, casual and insensitive to the issue that is confronting the Naga society as a whole, which is indeed unfortunate. “More importantly, a leader who himself hailing from the ENPO community knows the sentiment and hardships of his people better than anybody else but has flatly refused to highlight their grievances and miseries to both the central and state government and also, to the Naga people in general for finding out a solution is regrettable too,” he further stated in the note.
The PCC member also felt that the complex and sensitive nature of the Naga political problem, peace and unity process are co-related and as such anybody who pursues the same, should do it with all seriousness, fairness, sincerity, and above all with political maturity and wisdom. “In the midst of social unrest and at this critical juncture, such harsh, irrational, naked and dry fried statements are uncalled for. One fails to understand the logic sense of their statements. Perhaps their comments are a replicate of the DAN party official line or their own personal, remains to be
seen,” he said.
