NPF allege UG-Cong nexus with lett
Dimapur, May 17 (TEN): The NPF today issued a statement in response to the Opposition Congress’ recent attack that the regional party had a nexus with an underground faction, among other charges. The response disclosed that a letter dated March 12, 2008, addressed to the Nagaland BJP president by “an underground faction” demanded that the BJP pull out two of its legislators from the DAN and join the Congress “for formation of a new government.” The UGs’ letter enclosed by the NPF party today warned of “dire consequences” if the diktat was not complied with. This showed the nexus with “a particular faction” the Congress party had, the NPF stated.
A statement from NPF chief Dr. Shurhozelie slammed as blatant lie the claims of the Congress that the regional party is patronizing a faction of the Naga undergrounds. “We would like to bring to the information of the people that in a letter dated 12th March, 2008, addressed to the state BJP president, an underground faction directed the party to ‘pull out two of its legislators from the DAN and join the Congress for formation of a new government.’ The letter has also warned of ‘dire consequences’ if the direction was not compiled with. This is a clear indicator that it is the Congress which is in nexus with a particular faction of the undergrounds and which tried to pull down a popularly-elected government through their help, the NPF stated.
It also urged the people to judge the Congress’ motive behind calling a bandh on May 19, despite the fact that the Supreme Court has prohibited bandh. “So far as the DAN is concerned, we have been and will continue to maintain absolute neutrality in our approach to the undergrounds and we reiterate our appeal to all sections to work towards peace, understanding and oneness” it stated.
Over the Congress’ ‘trying to mislead the people’ over the enforcement of ceasefire ground rules, the NPF quoted the exact text of a clause in the Standard operating procedure that “…law and order situation arising out of insurgency should not be treated like any other normal law and order situation and therefore, it should be handled by state police and central paramilitary forces together.” This, the party stated, justified that situation arising out of factional clashes “are definitely political in nature and cannot be merely termed as law and order problems.”
The NPF also stated that the need of the hour for all sections of the society, irrespective of political affiliations is to rise to the occasion and take positive contributions to stop the senseless killings within the Naga family. “If the Congress truly love the Naga people and have concern for the future and destiny of the Nagas, they should not undermine the Naga political issue or try to gain political mileage at a time when Naga society is undergoing pain and trauma due to the fratricidal bloodshed amongst the Naga freedom fighters (sic)” the NPF contented.
Over the rise in prices of essentials, the NPF observed that “the Congress seems to be unaware of the prevalent market trends in the country and in the State. The NPF stated that due to proactive and concrete action taken by the state government, the price index could be brought down in recent weeks. The regional party mentioned the action taken as stated in the Dimapur DC’s order of May 14.
“The Congress will do well to be aware of the fact that price rise is not just a problem particular to Nagaland, but a national and global problem. It may also be remembered that the high rate of inflation in the country being ruled by the congress-led UPA at the center is being viewed as a significant contributor towards rising prices” the NPF remarked. It added that the Congress should
Appreciate the State government for bringing down the prices despite market trends and “many insurgency-related problems facing the state.”
