Kohima, 17th November , 2017
Legislators of the Naga People's Front decline Speaker's invite for a meeting of the Parliamentary Working Committee of the Legislators' Forum on Naga Political Issue, expressing reservations on the Speaker's position as Chairman of the Forum "when (the Speaker) cannot uphold the Constitution of the Country and (the) Assembly Rules.
"When one cannot stand for the truth and the rule of law, one cannot be expected to bring about any positive things on such important issues as our Naga political problem," the legislators said in a signed letter addressed to the Speaker of Nagaland Assembly.
The Speaker had convened a meeting of all the members of the PWC and both the two MPs today, November 17, 2017 at 11.00 am in the Conference Hall of the Assembly Secretariat.
THe NPF legislators however, went on to place on record their position on the Naga political problem saying they are ready to "pave way in the event of the realisation of a negotiated political settlement that is honourable and acceptable to the people."
