Dimapur, September 19 (MExN): The Janata Dal United (JDU) Nagaland has ‘conveyed to the public’ that “it is ready to either be a part of ‘Solution before Election’ or participate in the durbar of the electorate if Election is held.”
The Media and Publicity Cell of JDU, Nagaland in a press release on Monday while reminding, the UDA Government, particularly the BJP for its pre-election promise of “Election for Solution,” said that ‘the JDU sincerely feels that imposition of President’s Rule is not in the right direction.’
“If Government of India is not committed to accept the will of the people for Solution before Election, then democratic process of election must be held instead of PR,” it added.
The party has expressed shock at the demand of the Central Nagaland Tribes Council (CNTC) for imposition of President Rule in Nagaland with “reasons which is absolutely unjustified.”
It reminded that Nagas have undergone untold sufferings in the past as a result of President’s Rule and the atrocities committed during the period of PR are still a nightmare for those living victims who have faced the hardships during such emergency. “The solution to Naga Political problem does not warrant the imposition of PR. Rather, certain interim arrangements under a vigilant civil set-up can precede in facilitating any political settlement,” it stated.
