Cong tells NPF MLAs to quit over state pact
The Telegraph |Kohima, June 16:
The Opposition Congress today demanded resignation of all Nagaland People’s Front (NPF) legislators from the Nagaland Assembly, following the party’s rejection of the 16-Point Agreement that gave birth to the state. “The NPF seems to base its hypothesis on the belief that had there been no state, Nagas might have achieved sovereignty by now,” said a PCC press release here today.
The statement comes in the midst of a raging controversy in the state over formation of Nagaland in 1960 following the 16-Point Agreement between the Centre and Naga Peoples’ Convention (NPC).
The NPF had been arguing that if the agreement was the final solution for the Naga people, then why had the Centre signed a ceasefire agreement with the NNC on September 6, 1964, and subsequently held Prime Minister-level talks with them? Moreover, they argued, another ceasefire was signed between the Centre and the National Socialist Council of Nagalim (I-M) in 1997, again followed by Prime Minister-level talks.
