NNC rejects ‘Indian election in Nagaland’

Naga National Council Tuesday said that it “rejected and condemned the Indian Election in Nagaland”.  NNC information & publicity wing in a press release called upon “all the freedom loving Nagas to reject and condemn this election in Nagaland because this is in complete violation of Naga sovereign and democratic rights of the Naga people as a whole”.
It said “Government of India should solve the Naga political problem of occupation instead of imposing election in Nagaland… as this political problem of occupation lasted for more than sixty long years so it spread in the Northeast and mainland-India.” 
NNC said Nagas “should instead demand another Plebiscite (Referendum) in the Naga homeland with observers from United Nations, observers from Asian countries and all the democratic countries of the world who speak and stand for self-determination, rights of democracy and Human Rights”. 
It reminded that the NNC had rejected the first Indian parliamentary election in 1952 and 1957 as the Nagas “officially and publicly declared Naga Independence in 1947 on 14th August which was acknowledged by United Nations and also conducted the Naga National Plebiscite (Referendum) in 1951 on 16th May.”
