Phek, July 25 (MExN): The Phek District Congress Committee held an extended executive meeting on July 24 at Pfutsero and resolved to endorse the NPCC Political Affairs Committee’s (PAC) decision on the Naga political issue.

He said that the BJP had cheated the people with false promises while looting the nation and bringing the economy to its knees. Stating that the people cannot be fooled forever, he said that the time for change has arrived and expressed confidence that the Congress party will be victorious in various State elections to be held next year.

The release quoted the party president as saying, “when Hindus can openly propagate, support and vote for the Hindutva ideology of BJP, why Christian can't propagate or vote for a party base on its ideology if it doesn’t conflict with the Christian teachings.”
Further, the party president he said that Congress party will stand to honour and push for an early solution to the protracted Naga political issue, adding that it is only a matter of, “either the Council of Ministers deciding and advising the Governor or, all 60 Legislators resigning and paving the way to implement the agreed points on which talks were concluded.”
