Certainly elected members in Nagaland and on both sides of the aisle, are ever-conscious about public issues cannot say they are unaware about the declarations made in the local media by several organizations including villages and urban colonies etc to not entertain any demand for tax by any political organization within their respective jurisdictions. Some of those issuing the declarations have played safe with the rider ‘unless they unite’ for ‘one government, one tax.’ The coming together or “unity of all” has been a popular catchphrase in the Naga political lexicon spanning decades. The political groups are offshoots of the then undivided NNC which got splintered in 1969 and followed by subsequent splits over the decades, to the point that today, there are no less than ten groups with the same objective and ideals. Instead of coming or banding together in response to appeals since 2003, more splits have instead taken place. To pay one tax to one government, provided, if all the nearly a dozen political groups come together or unite, is like a belief that there is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. The majority of the declarants (of ‘one government, one tax’) are at least being respectful in a sense, to suggest that they would pay (any amount) of tax but only to ‘one government.’ Notwithstanding such an eventuality, the fact also remains that buyers will still have to pay taxes under GST, IT etc to the state government and Centre to fund infrastructures and a very wide range of public utilities and services etc. A democratically and constitutionally elected and established government or authority not provides almost everything for its citizens, which every sensible person understands but such a government is also to provide governance of the system with legally established laws and courts. The recent ‘coming together’ in the state political arena among all elected members from three remaining political parties (others being obliterated through dubious mergers) and independents; has been justified as being in pursuit of the objective of ‘oneness, unity’ etc for the political issue. The coming together of elected members for the political issue has been evident since decades when the Nagaland Legislative Assembly adopted unanimous resolutions on Naga political issue on December 12, 1964; August 28, 1970; September 16, 1994 and onwards from 2003. It was a practical coming together of all parties for the issue. During those years, the coming together was not about being on the same bench but having the same mind and purpose. To reinforce the concept of coming together of all parties, the Joint Legislators Forum(JLF)was formed in 2009 which also meant trips to New Delhi to meet with Central leaders and urge upon them to secure early solution. The JLF continued for over a decade then in 2020 the NPF walked away on August 18 from JLF to form its own Political Affairs Mission (PAM) on August 28,2020. However, after a nearly a year of the existence of JLF and PAM, it was back to square one when on June 10 and probably on the prodding of the Centre the ruling PDA and the opposition NPF came together to form the Core Committee on Naga political issue. However, unfortunately for the declarants, the issue of unabated and multiple taxes precipitated by the political groups has not been on the agenda of the legislators.
