The Political Affairs Committee (PAC) of Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee (NPCC) after much discussions and deliberations on the current political situation in the state and emerging disturbances in Assam-Nagaland border, has unanimously resolved to pass a three-point resolution in the greater interest of the people of Nagaland.
The 3 point resolution was passed at PAC’s meeting which was held on July 16 at Congress Bhavan, Kohima.
The PAC informed that on the recent formation of Parliamentary Committee and Core Committee on Naga Political issue by members of the Nagaland Legislative Assembly, it decided to urge all the 60 legislators to resign and pave way for urgent implementation of a political solution, as there is nothing more to talk according to the Government of India’s interlocutor, who is also the Governor of Nagaland, and also their resignation would only demonstrate their sincerity towards implementation of a political solution.
PAC also said that in the meeting, it has cautioned Assam Government on passing the Assam Cattle Preservation Bill 2021 that is bound to create more trouble for neighbouring hill states and destroy the age-old ties that have withstood the test of time.
On the recent border provocation from Assam side by deploying Armed Police personnel well ahead of neutral forces (CAPF) deployment, the PAC NPCC said it was of serious concern as both Assam and Nagaland government have taken the “wrong path” in resolving the long-standing boundary disputes, Assam government for provocation and Nagaland government for a timid response.
The PAC NPCC also stated that since the matter is still pending in Supreme Court, Assam must stop its provocation and withdraw its armed police personnel from the newly occupied positions.
It further added that the CAPFs deployed along the disputed border areas must be placed under direct control and supervision of MHA.
