Following the interview Union Home Minister of State, Kiren Rijiju gave to The Hindu, excerpts of which were published in this paper on January 12, NPCC president, K. Therie, has launched a scathing attack at the BJP saying that the BJP had no solution for the Nagas.
In a press release, Therie recalled that Rijiju had once stated that the Government of India would do everything to keep the negotiations and peace alive and alleged that “they do not have a solution for us.”
He further alleged that Rijiju could not reveal the status of the peace talks because he “does not know what they are talking about.”
Therie said that Rijiju should stop persecuting the nation’s Christians, church demolitions, hate campaigns and also free the foreign contributions towards missionary works like hospitals, schools, colleges, scholarships for theological students and charity works.
Targeting Rijiju’s statement that they did not want to link the talks with elections, Therie alleged that this was because the BJP had no answer for the Parliament. He further accused the BJP of trying to prolong the situation and “let generations perish expecting new generations will change their minds.”
He was of the view that people should not be confused by the BJP’s promises of peace and development because they have nothing to give and that the promises are hollow and unrealistic while also accusing them of being unable to maintain existing roads and infrastructure. He added that “we cannot continue to suffer under the present situations.”
Therie further said that Nagaland voters had to realize that the NPF was a spent force whose infighting would continue “till death does them apart.” He also alleged that the 12th state assembly had drawn Nagaland “backwards to pre-statehood period.”
