A day after the Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee expressed shock over his statement on Article 371(A), Lok Sabha MP, Tokheho Yepthomi, questioned the silence of Congress party when NSCN (I-M) made similar statements on Article 371(A). In a rejoinder, Tokheho cited NSCN (I-M) on May 26, 2023 statement, which purportedly stated that “Article 371(A) no longer had any political significance.”
MP also cited October 10, 2023 statement of NSCN (I-M) that “Article 371(A) was a road block to the Naga political solution and that it only meant loss of Naga’s nationality and political identity.” “But ironically, they have questioned my recent statement and clarification,” Tokheho said and questioned whether NPCC subscribed to the NSCN (I-M)’s views about Article 371(A)?
