Dimapur, Jan. 17 (EMN): Reacting to news report in which it was stated that NPF had snap ties with the BJP, Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee (NPCC) has urged the former to desist from double standard talk in order to fool the voters in Nagaland.
Ridiculing NPF, NPCC media cell claimed that both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha members are still supporting the BJP led NDA Government in the centre as well as in Manipur state. It went on to add that Rajya Sabha MP KG Kenye and Kuzholuzo Nienu, leader of NPF’s Shurhozielie faction, had assured BJP president Amit Shah to continue their 40 years alliance.
“NPF in July 2017 had adopted the resolution to sever ties with BJP after Dr. Shurhozielie was dislodged as the chief minister by TR Zeliang with the open support of the BJP. Reaffirmation of July 19, 2017, resolution on January 16, 2018, is laced with intent to hoodwink voters,” NPCC statement said.
NPCC stated that if there was any truth in the abrogation of ties with BJP, both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha members should also withdraw their support to the BJP and sit in the Opposition Bench with Congress in Parliament and defend Christians from persecution and also defend the interests of the people. It added that they should also withdraw from BJP ministry in Manipur state.
“The statement is a dishonest statement made with intent to betray and fool Nagaland’s secular voters. This is purely double speak to trap voters once again and cover up their failures. They are the ones responsible for all activities and freedom of Hindutva activity in Nagaland,” it added.
NPCC stated that they would again come together after the election singing chorus of 40 years association.
NPCC has also accused Thomas Ngullie of planting the ‘Trishul’ in the heart of Nagaland in which the state chief minister TR Zeliang had blindly agreed to lay foundation stones for institutions initiated by yoga guru Ramdev who is the RSS brand ambassador. NPCC has accused them of ignoring the feelings of Christian brothers and sisters who continue to suffer in pain from the persecution across India.
