BJP Nagaland asks leaders to speak out on Naga political issue

Dimapur, May 29 (EMN): Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Nagaland State unit on Sunday accused some leaders and their parties of the state of remaining silent on the Naga political issue, stating that it is ‘high time the leaders speak out’.

A statement issued by the BJP state media cell said that the leaders, despite holding “influential positions like leading the Core Committee” were maintaining “stoic silence”.

“They need to let the public know what they think and want. We need leaders that represent the voice of the people and not those who shy away when their thoughts and opinions matter the most,” it read.

The party stated that it has always been advocating for an early solution to the protracted Naga political issue.

“And despite the multitude of opinions and allegations hurled against our legislators in recent times, it needs to be accepted by all if we are really craving for a solution. We need to be more vocal about what is happening, what we want to achieve, what we need to hold on to, and what we need to let go.

“Those blaming a few legislators for being vocal and voicing out their opinions also need to understand that the legislators, in a way also represent the voice of the Centre and cannot be ignored or dismissed,” read the statement.

Furthermore, the party added that it would continue to do its part in facilitating an early and amicable solution.
