Dimapur, July 18 (MExN): The Political Affairs Committee (PAC) of the Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee (NPCC) passed a three-point resolution on the Naga political issue and “emerging disturbances” on Assam-Nagaland border.
According to a press release received on Sunday, the resolutions were passed during a meeting on July 16. On recent formation of Parliamentary Committee and Core Committee on Naga Political issue by members of Nagaland Legislative Assembly, the committee urged all 60 legislators to resign and pave way for implementation of political solution, “as there is nothing more to talk according to GoI (Government of India) Interlocutor, who is also the Governor of Nagaland.”
“Their resignation will only demonstrate their sincerity towards implementation of political solution,” it added.`Further, the committee cautioned the Assam government on passing the Assam Cattle Preservation Bill, 2021 stating that it was “bound to create more trouble for neighbouring hill states and destroy the age-old ties that have withstood the test of time.”
It also expressed concern about the recent border provocation from Assam by deploying armed police personnel well ahead of neutral forces (CAPFs) deployment.
It said that both Assam and Nagaland Government have taken the wrong path in resolving the long standing boundary disputes— Assam government for provocation and Nagaland government for timid response.
“Since the matter is still pending in Supreme Court, Assam government must stop its provocation and withdraw its armed police personnel from newly occupied positions. The CAPFs deployed along the disputed border areas must be placed under direct control and supervision of MHA (Ministry of Home Affairs),” the release stated.
