The Central Executive Council of the Naga People’s Front (NPF) in its meeting held here today reiterated the commitment of the party to work for finding an honorable and acceptable solution to Indo-Naga political problem.
While welcoming the Framework Agreement signed between NSCN-IM and GoI, it further appealed to both the GoI and NSCN-IM work out a formula of inclusiveness of all the Naga political groups so that any solution that may come out may be acceptable to all sections of Naga people.
The CEC also extended its support to the hill people of Manipur state in protest against the three anti-hill/tribal people’s bills passed by the Manipur Legislative Assembly on 31st August 2015 relating with the implementation of ILP system in Manipur state.
While expressing support and solidarity with those MLAs particularly the NPF MLAs of Manipur who resigned their seat in protest against the bill, the CEC also appealed to President of India not to give his assent to the controversial bill which is “anti-hill people.”
The meeting whole heartedly welcomed the INC, JDU, NCP MLAs along with their supporters who have recently merged with the NPF. “It is hopes that their merger will strengthen the party government to work effectively towards finding Naga political aspiration,” the resolution adopted at the meeting stated.
Rajya Sabha tenure for Nagaland expire on April 2
Meanwhile, Naga People’s Front (NPF) president Dr Shurhozelie Liezietsu said the present Rajya Sabha tenure for Nagaland will expire on April 2 this year. He termed it as unfortunate for the state of Nagaland that late Khekiho Zhimomi passed away before completing his term as Rajya Sabha MP.
In his presidential address at the CEC meeting, Dr Liezietsu revealed that few leaders have already expressed their willingness to serve the party as Rajya Sabha MP. Dr Liezietsu on the occasion appealed to the party members to accept ‘reconciliation’ in its true spirit and rededicate themselves to cover up the damages that they have done to themselves.
