DIMAPUR — The Naga People's Front (NPF) Tseminyu division held a meeting on March 28, where party leaders from various units to central levels reaffirmed their unity and commitment to the core principles of the party.
An update from the party mentioned that the meeting underscored the 62-year legacy of the party and its dedication to achieving a lasting political solution for the Naga people.
Speaking on the occasion, R Khing, former minister and member of the core committee, reflected on the journey of the party since 1963, noting its resilience as one of the longest-surviving political parties in India.
He recalled challenging periods, including the near-extinction of the party in 2002-03, and the formation of a new party in 2017 due to ideological differences and called on all members to remain strong, united, and supportive.

Loguseng Semp, former candidate and CEC member, traced the origins of the party to the Indo-Naga conflict and spoke of its evolution, including nine constitutional amendments. He called for a renewed focus on restoring the image of the party, with party interest being the foremost priority.
"Once you are enrolled in the party, you are a Naga patriot," he declared, urging members to strengthen the party from within.
Key highlights from the Central Office Bearers' (COB) tour included addresses by Daniel Tep, Working President of the NPF Tseminyu division, and Benjamin Lorin, Vice President and COB division in charge.
Tep highlighted the importance of organisational discipline and grassroots-level coordination to ensure the party remains a formidable force in the region. He called upon all party workers to draw inspiration from the rich legacy of the party and work collectively under the central leadership to strengthen the presence of the party in Tseminyu district ahead of the upcoming elections.
Lorin addressed the rationale behind the NDPP-NPF merger, framing it as a strategic move centred on the Indo-Naga political issue. He noted the merger has created a formidable, "jumbo-sized" party aimed at uniting fragmented sections of Naga society.
Lorin also highlighted developmental activities in Tseminyu district, attributing them to the efforts of the previous government. He asserted that progress for the Rengma people is best secured by aligning with the NPF.
Short speeches were delivered by representatives from the central youth wing, central women wing, and central farmers wing.
The gathering concluded with a collective resolve to stay united and work under the leadership of Chief Minister and NPF President Neiphiu Rio to strengthen the party ahead of the upcoming elections.
