NDPP making mockery of self: NPCC

IMAPUR, JUL 16 (NPN): Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee (NPCC) has asked the NDPP not to “make a mockery of self repeatedly” by stating that Nagaland State Assembly has in a resolution done away with Article 371A (1) (b) as it reflected the intelligentsia of the state.

In a press release, NPCC president, K Therie, said that Congress working president had clarified the position of the state and nation and the process of Constitution amendments. Therie said that former chief minister and former governor, Dr. SC Jamir, the lone living signatory of the 16 Point Agreement, had also made it clear that as long as the Article was not amended by Parliament, the provisions were alive. “Excepting for NDPP, it is understood by all that resolution by the State Assembly cannot repeal the provisions made in the Constitution,” Therie said.

Stating that in democracy, silence was considered as agreeing, Therie said “if we do so, others will assume Nagaland State people are ignorant of Constitutional procedures.” Therefore, he said that the Congress leaders, for the voiceless, have clarified the actual positions.

Stating that NDPP appeared to be “having sleepless nights” over the governor’s letter, NPCC president said that the governor instead of assuming special responsibility with respect to law and order should have dismissed the government “for abdicating its constitutional responsibilities and for unabated extortion and corruptions.”

Claiming that the state chief minister was in the “most difficult situation”, Therie alleged that chief minister was under the jaws of BJP. “He is also at gun point. He is surrounded by corrupt goons and now he has lost control of law and order,” NPCC president said.

Further, Therie said NDPP should not blame others for the mess they were in now, which he claimed was their own creation. “They decided to merely facilitate the ongoing peace process shifting from the commitment to play an effective role in securing a negotiated settlement,” NPCC president said.
