The Congress party is generally a party of power corridors. When in opposition; they are either indifferent or simply sanguine to get back power. Often issues are mishandled and 'real issues' are ignored.
However, in Nagaland, four Congress leaders including a former MP and a former legislator have lately issued a statement.
"The Political Affairs Committee (PAC) of the NPCC held its meeting at 11 AM on Thursday, 25th June 2026 at Congress Bhavan Kohima and unanimously adopted a 3 Point Resolution".

They are Khriedi Theunuo, Working President, NPCC, C Apok Jamir, Working President, Capt G K Zhimomi, Vice President, NPCC and N Yona Konyak, General Secretary, NPCC
Some of the phrases in the statement would not be perhaps acceptable those Congress office bearers who are soft on the 'BJP-NPF' dispensation and also want an airport in northern Angami hills.
"The PAC took serious note of the delay in implementing two peace agreements – Framework Agreement and Agreed Position – by the Govt of India, as well as the dubious role of the State Govt in demanding a Political Interlocuter at the ministerial level; a demand that will only turn the clock back to where it started.
Therefore, the PAC resolved to urge the Govt of India to show its commitment and sincerity to the people of Nagaland and implement the political solution that will be honorable and acceptable for all those yearning for peace and development.
"The delay in implementing the tripartite MoA signed for creation of FNTA is unacceptable. Both the Union Govt and the State Govt are fully responsible for issues that have surfaced after signing of tripartite MoA.
We therefore urge both the Union and the State Govt to show its sincerity and urgency by resolving the contentious issues without further delay and fulfill the aspirations of the people under ENPO areas".
The PAC is concerned on the recent signing of tripartite MoU between the Govt of Assam and the Govt of Nagaland under the aegis of MHA, Govt of India, to restart crude oil and natural gas exploration along the disputed border belt, it said.
"Though oil exploration activities are the need of the hour considering the deplorable state of our state economy, yet by signing an MoU only to keep the contents hidden from public information raises more doubts in the minds of the people."
"Therefore, we demand that the contents of the MoU be made public and further cautions that any sellout of our rights over land ownership and revenue will not be acceptable," the Congress panel said.
