Dimapur, May 24 (EMN): Dr. Shürhozelie Liezietsu, president of Naga People’s Front (NPF), said that the party is firmed on its political stand on the Naga political issue since its inception.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, Dr. Liezietsu stated that many treated Naga issue as a law and order problem and tried to suppress the movement using various methods by different agencies.
“When the 16-Point Memorandum (agreement) was signed by the government of India with the group which was playing the role of mediation, leaving aside the main conflicting group for whom the agreement was proposed, the 16-Point Memorandum completely failed to stop the bloodshed but it brought more bloodshed to the land,” read the statement.
He said that the NPF was formed during this time to give a new direction to the issue for its solution, proclaiming it as a ‘political and human problem’, not a law and order problem.
“Time keeps on changing but the Naga political problem will continue to remain the same till it is amicably solved a political solution which is ‘Honourable, Acceptable and Inclusive’,” he stated.
“This political party does not and will not side with any particular group but to maintain proper understanding with all conflicting groups by telling them the truth. Nagas have to blame ourselves for the mess we have come across thus far. It is high time for everyone to realise the ground realities,” he added.
Liezietsu went on to say that the party will continue to appeal to the Naga national workers to understand the common interest of the people to solve this problem amicably which “will be in the interest of the whole country as well”.
