Dimapur, June 6 (EMN): Ex-Parliamentarian Association of Nagaland (Ex-PAN) called for immediate solution to the Naga political issue which must be determined by the outcomes of dialogues between the Government of India and the Naga negotiator.
This resolution was adopted during an executive committee meeting on June 4.
It stated that the negotiations between the Govt. of India and the NSCN (IM) and the WC, NNPG on the Naga political issues were in its 25th year, and “investment of 25 years on the political negotiations is more than enough for the Nagas to have its logical end.”
“The facilitators including the core committee of Naga political issue (CCONPI) of the UDA ministry may have to be cautious enough either for over indulgence or under indulgence in respective facilitations with specific reference to unwarranted and irresponsible comments tending to mislead the general public in the media condemnable,” it read.
It further stated that if the Govt. of India uses the service of the chief minister of Assam in the business of mediation, “we may have to unavoidably accept him; otherwise the involvement of the Chief Minister of Assam in the political negotiation at the behest of the CCONPI is uncalled for”.
Further, it said that the Naga political issue was not an issue of law and order nor can the CCONPI undermine it.
“The Naga negotiators entered into the political negotiations with the Govt. of India on their own volition with the objective of resolving the issues existing between the negotiators. The Ex-PAN therefore urges the Naga negotiators in particular to be practical and realistic rather than rhetoric in persuasions. The indefinite negotiations are too exploitative and detrimental to the welfare of the general public and therefore unacceptable,” it stated.
The Association stated that it upholds the negotiations which concluded on October 31, 2019 between the Govt.of India and the Naga negotiators.
“The Govt. of India must give the alter call at the earliest so that the Naga political solution becomes a reality,” it added.
