NNPG charges Rio Govt and 'self serving Naga Civil Societies' for sabotaging Solution to Naga insurgency issue

 "It is quite remorseful to observe the Nagaland state Government and few self serving Naga Civil Societies giving themselves lofty names, continue to connive with venomous elements to obstruct and sabotage the Indo-Naga political solution. This collaboration is to politically and economically ravage the land and people all together and cling on to power," the NNPG said in a strongly worded article wherein it has cautioned that Nagas of Manipur should stay away from affairs within the state of Nagaland.

NNPG chief Kitovi : Eyeing Solution pact 

"Perhaps fearing that Tangkhul leaders won’t benefit much from Nagaland state in the event of solution, the chorus for separate flag and constitution, elements that defines absolute sovereign nations, became their excuse and a means to perpetuate extortion and exploitation of the resources of Naga people and also a bargaining chip to negotiate resettlement for themselves in Intangki reserved forest area and Hebron camp. 

The fact is, this area is not a territory of Manipur state. It belongs to the people of Nagaland." -- NNPG

"As the picture slowly emerges, the FA in 2015 was signed hoping to strip and nullify Art. 371(A) from Nagaland state. They had the audacity to comment Nagaland would cease to exist post solution! If such destructive plans are declared, imposed or initiated, today or tomorrow, every male in Nagaland, young or old, would turn into a head hunter once again because what was his for centuries would now be claimed and snatched by non entities and immigrants. 

Only people with zero contribution in the Naga movement before statehood would insist on such a policy. Therefore, it is best not to comment or touch the sensitive matters of Nagaland state which predates one’s entry into the political life of the Nagas," the NNPG statement said.

"With Lok Sabha polls not far off, politically and constitutionally important matters related to states such as Nagaland and Manipur may have to be taken by the Centre during the ensuing Monsoon session of Parliament,"  a source said. 

On June 30, Nagaland Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio and other top functionaries will meet at Kohima to discuss the provisions of granting an autonomous body to seven tribes of Eastern Nagaland.
