Mokokchung, Nov. 22 (EMN): With unprecedented unrest on all fronts- politically and socially in the State, Advisor of Food and Civil Supplies, Nuklutoshi, opined that solving the Naga political issue is the only answer to the present crises.

Addressing the annual executive meeting of NPF, Mokokchung division on November 22, Nuklutoshi, who is also the newly appointed division in-charge, said that Naga political issue should be solved first in order to bring about stability and peace in the State.

Nuklutoshi appealed the Government of India to declare its decision before the State general election if they are totally committed and serious towards solving the oldest political problem in Northeast India.

“We are ready to vacate our chairs for the Naga political solution,” he asserted.

The legislator also warned that the next State government would face bigger crisis than the present government if the solution does not arrive before the general election. He felt that with the final solution to the Naga political issue, peace would come to prevail in the land and encourage big companies to invest thereby solve the unemployment problem.

He also appealed the party workers to urge for Nagaland political solution first before the election. The advisor further sought unity among the various Naga organisations including ENPO, Naga Hoho, CNTC etc., to fulfil the aspiration of the future generation.

“Unless and until the Naga people are united as one, we cannot ask other NNPGs to join the mainstream for political talk,” Nuklutoshi said, adding that Naga should have a common platform adding it is the responsibility of the people to bring the NSCN (K) to the mainstream to join the Naga political dialogue.

On present NPF crisis between Neiphiu Rio and Dr Shürhozelie Liezietsu groups, Nuklutoshi felt that instead of pointing fingers at one another they should come together cutting across their differences and save the oldest and strongest regional party in the Northeast states.
