NPCC media cell dismissed Lanukaba and said \u201cbeing straight from the kheti, he couldn\u2019t be blamed\u201d for accusing the two former prime ministers and the incumbent prime minister of India of having \u201cviolated their oath of secrecy by talking outside the constitution of India.\u201d
Lanukaba had claimed that by agreeing to talk on \u201cfresh political agreement\u201d the prime ministers also concurred with Imkong L. Imchen whom the NPCC accused of violating the oath of secrecy to the Indian constitution.
Stating that \u201csuch substandard statement\u201d did not merit response, NPCC however asserted that the record needed to be set straight over the issue of the 1998 assembly elections.
It said while the regional party had boycotted the elections, the Congress and independents contested and were elected unopposed in most constituencies.
In this regard, NPCC pointed out that chief minister Neiphiu Rio, minister planning T.R. Zeliang, minister roads and bridges G. Kaito Aye, minister power Doshehe Sema and former Congress MLAs now in the Naga People\u2019s Front (NPF) had been elected as Congress candidates in 1998.
NPCC reminded that the above former Congressmen enjoyed full five-year term and therefore, the NPF should now ask them and not the Congress, to explain.
It also said the NPF should also explain why it accepted the above former Congressmen if the NPF was still opposed to the Congress\u2019 participation in the 1998 election.
It also pointed that it was for intellectual readers to see if \u201cImkong L. Imchen\u2019s rubbish statement as appeared on June 11, 2011 behove well his position and stature.\u201d
NPCC added that the \u201cCongress has no taste or pleasure\u201d to respond to \u201call rubbish arrogantly thrust out by NPF or Imkong L. Imchen.\u201d
NPCC reiterated its charge that \u201cthe Shillong Accordist NPF\u201d was responsible for \u201cunaccounted fratricidal killings\u201d. Slamming NPF, it asked \u201cwhy compensation related to three incidents only?\u201d adding there should be no partiality as \u201ccompensation should be paid to all villages and towns that suffered loss since 1956.\u201d
NPCC accused the NPF of \u201cfoolishly trying to botch up the Naga political issue by propounding new hypothesis without knowing the consequences it is going to bring.\u201d
In this, NPCC said the NPF first questioned the Congress as to whether the 16 Point agreement and stathood \u201cwas full stop for Congress\u201d?
NPCC said now the NPF was blaming Congress that the booklet Bedrock of Naga Society \u201chad blocked the gate for fresh political settlement.\u201d
It demanded to know which central leader stated that and reminded the NPF that it has to answer why it had not raised any objection on August 31 2005 if it did not agree that the booklet was a closed chapter.
NPCC charged the NPF of being hell bent on keeping alive the booklet Bedrock of Naga Society and cautioned the Congress will not be responsible \u201cfor any negative fallout from the NPF\u2019s hypothesis.\u201d
Taking on NPF Farmers\u2019 Wing president Lanukaba\u2019s for saying that Nagas needed many Imkong L. Imchen to raise the Naga issue, NPCC asked how many times had Imkong L. Imchen, whom it described as a \u201c a pseudo-regionalist\u201d moved a resolution on the Naga political issue in the Nagaland Legislative Assembly?
NPCC said if the NPF thought that debating on the Naga political issue would help the Naga political groups to find a solution, why can\u2019t its stalwarts who were in the party since inception, take the state and debate with the Congress on the issue?
NPCC said the Naga political issue \u201cis dying from accusations and counter-accusations related to the past\u201d and opined it needed to be given a futuristic dimension, based on history and philosophy for a permanent settlement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
