Dimapur, March 30 (MExN): The lone Member of Parliament, Lok Sabha from Nagaland, Wangyuh Konyak today said that the problem of extremism in India would cease once the Indian government satisfies the Nagas with their demands.
Speaking as the chief guest at the inaugural function of the Chakhroma Public Organisation (CPO) building at Chumukedima here today, the MP from Nagaland said that he is an MP now and that he will be an MP in the future also. He said that without peace there will be no development. He also said that the Nagas are now paying five taxes like government tax, “NSCN (IM) tax, NSCN (K) tax” etc and said that how the people are are going to survive when they have to pay so many taxes.
In that same vein the eloquent Wangyuh said that the naxalite problem in some Indian states and the insurgency problem in the North East is an impact of the Naga political movement and said that the problem of naxalism and the insurgency movement will cease once the Nagas are satisfied.
“If India gives solution to the Nagas then there will be no extremism” said the MP to the audience mostly comprised of tribal leaders from the Angami region.
“Naga mog poila phon kore-poli lakhe, polia” said the MP (The Nagas mouth has to be closed first). The MP further speaking about the CPO Hall, called upon the Chakhroma community to let the building be open to all the communities in the area. He said that hates tribalism and that when he is with the Ao community, he is Ao, with the Angamis, he is an Angami, with the Konyaks he is a Konyak and so on, clearly giving a message to the assembled tribal leaders to do away with tribalism and live in harmony with each other.
