“The Narendra Modi government had in 2015 announced that Naga accord was achieved but later backtracked saying it was only a Framework Agreement. They are now saying that talks are underway,” Shashi Tharoor said.
Tharoor made this statement while addressing an election rally at Congress Bhawan at Kohima in Nagaland on Wednesday.
“Nagas deserve better than this kind of deception, corruption, dishonesty and inefficiency,” he said.
“The BJP should not be allowed to conceal its basic orientation, that is, belief in ‘one nation, one religion, one language, one culture and one leader’,” he said, citing attacks on religious minorities and wondering why the BJP government remained silent.
