Stresses on ‘one solution, one agreement’
Parliamentary Committee on Naga Political Issue (PCoNPI), maintained that as per the desire of every Naga, it would continue to press on the two negotiating groups to come together for an early solution. This was disclosed by the member-secretary Neiba Kronu while speaking to media after the parliamentary committee meeting held at State banquet hall here.
Kronu described the meeting as “fruitful” and said that the members including chief minister, deputy CM, leader of opposition, Rajya Sabha MP, legislators from the BJP, NPF and Independent shared their views and opinions at the meeting. He also disclosed that the first day of the 8th session of the 13th NLA, which begins on August 3, would discuss on the Naga political issue.
Asserting that it was the desire of all the Nagas that the negotiating groups come together, Kronu said the parliamentary committee would, therefore, put all effort to ensure that the negotiating parties come under one platform for one solution, one agreement.
He said that time was limited since by 2022 many of the elected members would be engaged in their own way. He, therefore, said “we want to bring both the negotiating parties under one platform and for one solution and one agreement”.
Asked whether the core committee would meet the central leaders if the seven-member NNPGs and NSCN (I-M) come together, he replied in the affirmative and said it was also the desire of the union leaders that the negotiating parties come together. He said a lot of issues in that line had been initiated like the NPF and NDPP joint statement in December 2020, resolution adopted during the Budget session, followed by formation of parliamentary committee and July 9 resolution.
