Nagaland Congress president K Therie has once again launched a scathing attack on the state government over the Naga political issue.
Nagaland Congress president K Therie alleged that the NDPP-led ‘opposition-less’ state government is not serious about securing a solution to the vexed Naga political issue.
“We have elected a government that does not want solution,” Nagaland Congress president K Therie said.
While the Naga national workers want solution, the state government does not want it, the Nagaland Congress chief added.
He further said that the Nagaland government is yet to recognise the two agreements signed with the two Naga negotiating groups.
Notably, the Government of India has been holding talks with both the NSCN-IM and NNPGs separately.
While talks with the NSCN-IM have been taking place since 1997, NNPGs and the Government of India have been in talks since 2017.
The Government of India had signed the “framework agreement” with NSCN-IM on August 3, 2015 and “Agreed Position” with the NNPGs on November 17, 2017.
Nagaland chief minister Neiphiu Rio, recently, had assured an early solution to the Naga political issue.
Nagaland chief minister Neiphiu Rio had urged all stakeholders in the Naga political issue to “expedite negotiations” and secure an early solution.
