With the three-day deadline issued by apex tribe organisations on T.R. Zeliang to resign on moral grounds ending on mid-night of February 10 but with the chief minister remaining adamant, the stalemate could push the state into the brink of mass civil unrest with grave consequences.
\nThere was much speculations and expectations that the legislators would urge upon the cabinet to take the call at the meeting of the DAN Legislature party held in the State Banquet Hall Friday evening.
\nHowever the meeting turned out to be only for making an appeal as contained in the \u201ccommuniqu\u00e9\u201d from the Chief Minister\u2019s Office through its Media Cell. CMO said the emergency meeting discussed the present situation and concluded that as elections to Urban Local Bodies was over and entire process \u201cdeclared null and void\u201d , the stage was now for \u201cdialogue and negotiations\u201d on the future course of action to be taken. The DAN legislature therefore appealed to the \u201cagitating groups to lift the indefinite bandh\u201d and take up the government\u2019s offer of dialogue so as to amicably resolve the ULB issue in the state.
\nCMO disclosed that the DAN legislature meeting was attended by 53 legislators including the Assembly Speaker, chairman of DAN and president NPF Dr.Sh\u00fcrhozelie Lieziets\u00fc, vice chairman DAN and state BJP president Visasolie Lhoungu, K.G.Kenye MP(RS) and special invitees.
\nSources said the chief minister initiated the discussion by briefing the DAN legislators about his meeting with union home minister Rajnath Singh in Delhi on Thursday where the situation in Nagaland featured.
\nInd. MLA cautions<\/span>
\n Independent MLA from 39 Sanis A\/C N. Thomas Ngullie, who broke ranks with the \u201copposition-less state assembly\u201d to become its lone opposition voice, said he decided to attend the meeting even though he was not invited.
\n In an interview to Nagaland Post, Thomas said he voiced his concern over the situation prevailing across Nagaland because of the loss of three precious lives. Thomas said he appealed to the members to hear the cries of their people across the length and breadth of Nagaland and hoped for God\u2019s wisdom upon the members and the cabinet to respond to the cries of their people.
\nHe reminded them about his November 24,2016 speech in the Assembly when he expressed the hope that Nagas would not call their elected members as \u201ccowards\u201d for not taking the right decision. He was the only member who spoke against the motion against revocation of the September 22, 2012 resolution after which he walked out in protest. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
