KOHIMA, JULY 21 (MExN): NPF President, Dr Shürhozelie Liezietsu issued a statement today responding to a press release issued by the NDPP on July 20.
The NPF President said that “when law and order collapsed in a State, that means there is no more rule of law in that State and therefore, people who are running that Government should own responsibility.”
The government, he said, cannot shift the responsibility to others.
“If they refuse to admit that fact, let them point out who is then responsible for collapse of law and order in Nagaland? If they say that collapse of law and order is not true, do they mean to say that someone is lying? If they refuse to admit the fact, why not take up the matter with the concerned authorities and justify their stand in spite of trying to argue off line to confuse the people,” Liezietsu questioned.
In reference to the NDPP’s jibe at the dismissal of his government in 2017, the NPF President stated: “Yes, my Government was dismissed but the question of shame does not arise here because I have never asked for that chair. I have only responded to the request of my people and I have done my job satisfactorily during my short stay in the office by removing all irritants and brought the situation under complete control by personally taking up the matter with the agitating groups and solved the problems amicably.”
He expressed gratefulness to the people and the “agitating groups” in particular for extending their cooperation and support.
Meanwhile, the NPF President said that the “NDPP media and communication committee members are very experienced leaders because they moved from the luxury political hotel of a party to another again and again and now landed in NDPP luxury political hotel.”
“But nobody knows how long they will stay there because tourists are always on the move. Tell them that tourists do not talk about political principle,” Liezietsu said.
