Close on the heels of the NSCN (I-M) agreeing to resume talks with the Government of India after its meeting with the Core Committee on Naga Political Issue (CCoNPI) on Saturday to resolve pending issues before signing the agreement for solution, Cen-tral Nagaland Tribes Council (CNTC) Sunday has demanded imposition of President\u2019s Rule in Nagaland to facilitate early solution to the Naga political issue.
Renewing the demand of scores of organisations including political parties for early solution in view of official talks having concluded on October 31, 2019, CNTC\u2019s media cell, lamented that despite 25 years of negotiation between Government of India and the stakeholders, there has been no outcome so far, to resolve the Naga political issue.
CNTC contended that when the government of India had put the ball back in the court of the UDA coalition\u2019s Core Committee on Naga Political Issue (CCoNPI) it was the bounden duty of the government of India to settle the issue at the earliest.
CNTC recalled that in the run up to the 2018 assembly election, the BJP explained its move for election by promising Nagas solution with its slogan \u201cElection for Solution\u201d.
However, CNTC said BJP failed to fulfil its commitment. CNTC said it was of the view that another election was coming and that parties will continue to adopt \u201cdelay tactics\u201d by making another false promise.
According to CNTC, the other reason for demanding President\u2019s Rule, was the failure of the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) government to fulfil its commitment.
In addition, CNTC alleged that \u201cunabated corruption over the years have led to financial crunch\u201d, while the state government, despite its assurance, failed to take action against rampant extortion. CNTC also maintained that rampant extortion in the state has led to increase in price and the common people were made to bear the brunt.
Further, CNTC said most government employees were not being paid salaries while, there has also been no progress in education, infrastructure, law and order and governance etc. Taking note of all these issues, CNTC asserted that the current situation in the state can only be tackled through imposition of President\u2019s Rule.
Meanwhile, CNTC has also extended its support on the signing of the \u2018September Joint Accord-ant\u2019 by NSCN (I-M) and WC, NNPGs in the presence of Forum for Naga Reconciliation (FNR).
Demand for President\u2019s Rule was also made by Rising People\u2019s Party (RPP) in July this year. The party launched an online campaign seeking dismissal of the UDA government and imposi-tion of President\u2019s Rule in the State. The campaign, launched through online portal change.org, aimed at obtaining at least 10,000 signatures, which would then be submitted to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to take a resolute action.
RPP had also reminded that it had submitted a representation to the Central government on May 12 this year pleading for President\u2019s Rule in Nagaland on grounds of financial emergency in the State.
Also in August, the Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee (NPCC) president K. Therie main-tained that as the present socio-economic and law and order scenario in Nagaland has reached a critical stage, the only way out of the mess was for the Government of India to promulgate President\u2019s Rule in the state.
Significantly at the CNTC programme in Wokha on May 13-14, deputy chief minister, Y. Patton said as a member of the Core Committee, headed by chief minister Neiphiu Rio, the CCoNPI would meet with prime minister Narendra Modi and home minister Amit Shah in Delhi. Patton said he will bluntly tell the two leaders that- if Naga solution cannot be achieved then impose President\u2019s Rule.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
