KOHIMA (MExN): Nagaland People’s Front (NPF) President Dr. Shurhozelie Lizietsu today asserted that the DAN government was doing well and expressed confidence that the coalition could deliver the goods to the people as long as the party remained strong. “It is party government. We know that some of our party men have been playing negative roles to weaken the party all the time. But nothing will happen as long as we leaders who are sitting in this room remain steadfast,” Dr. Liezietsu told during the NPF Central office bearers meeting at Hotel Japfu on Thursday.
Dr. Liezietsu, who is a senior Minister in the present government, also stressed the need to maintain a team spirit within the party.
“When team spirit prevails, there is no need to talk about party discipline,” he said adding that constitutional provision for party discipline is included only for those who fail to keep the team spirit and go out of the way to damage the party. Dr. Liezietsu also challenged the party leaders to look forward with a positive attitude and continue to work in the interest of the party so as to enable the government to deliver the goods to the people.
Nagaland Home Minister Thenucho informed the meeting of what the Associate members of the Delimitation Commission from Nagaland recently conveyed to the Union Home Minister Shivraj Patil on the stand of Nagaland while urging Patil to take the initiative in amending the Delimitation Act 2002, so as to exempt Nagaland from its purview.
“I hope he will do justice,” Thenucho said and further reiterated that the government would put its best efforts forward to safeguard the peoples’ interest. We will do our best to bring justice, he added.
Thenucho further said that if the delimitation exercise took place in Nagaland, it would create law and order problems and that the sentiments of the people would be disturbed.
