Asungba Sangtam, organized by DCC Kohima here outside Congress Bhavan, NPCC president, Pusa alleged that the DAN government failed to contain law and order situation and that factional killings continued unabated in the state.
\nPusa pointed out that the state government always evaded the real issue on the Naga political problem saying that the issue was political in nature and not law and order. He said the government\u2019s reply meant that \u201cthe DAN government is giving license to kill\u201d and added \u201cthis is a divisive policy of the DAN government and deserved to be thrown out.\u201d
\nOn the state chief minister talking about \u201csovereignty\u201d, the NPCC President wondered as to how a chief minister could talk of sovereignty, when he had taken oath under the Constitution of India. Pusa said the CM should not continue to fool or cheat the people anymore.
