Sumi Hoho (SH) and Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee (NPCC) have congratulated RN Ravi on being sworn-in as the 19th Governor of Nagaland.
SH through its media cell described Ravi, who is also the interlocutor for Naga peace talks, as a “visionary leader” and expressed hope that Naga people’s longtime wish for amicable solution would be realised during his time here.
NPCC: President of Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee (NPCC) K. Therie has welcomed R.N. Ravi on his new assignment and appealed to him not to consider Nagas as adversaries but as constructive participants in the democratic process of forming a democratic government.
In a press release, Therie, opined that if he was Ravi, he would first insist on solving the political problem before coming to Nagaland. However Therie added that perhaps Ravi was wiser than him and also has a better plan which needed to be seen.
Therie said Ravi was not new to Nagaland and the developing situation as he also conversant with the cease fire agreements which were “above the constitution of India .”
Therie also said there were ten parallel governments in the state that were governing and extorting people against the backdrop of lack of activity on the development front. The NPCC chief said Ravi was negotiating with them and knew everyone of them better than many Nagas. He also said Ravi knew the groups are united in objective and also the suffering and aspirations of the people for peace, development and opportunities.
Therie therefore, expressed the hope that Ravi,as the head of the state under the Constitution of India, would enforce the law of the land. “We shall look forward to him for justice, equality, one tax one government and a corruption free Government,” Therie said.
