Rejoinder to NDPP :: NPF
Kohima, 14th June 2019
The Naga People’s Front is constraint to issue this rejoinder against the NDPP blatant child-like statement appeared in the dailies attacking the oldest regional political party of the region.
To no surprise, the NPF assume that the NDPP is following each and every move and utterances of the NPF party keeping their finger cross, hiccupping with unrest for the safety of their chairs.
Time and again, the NPF reminded the NDPP that they have either no business or rights whatsoever to interfere in the internal affairs of the NPF party. But it shows their insecurity and nervousness even though they along with its alliances have somehow stich up a loose number is running the affair of the state.
However, the NPF asserted that the NPF party will play a constructive role as an opposition and advice the NDPP party not to mix around with the affair of the NPF party but to be sincere enough in their approach in giving development to the people while they are at the helms of affair.
Since many of the so called tall leaders of the NDPP were the manufacture of the NPF party should know well that the NPF party function with transparency and therefore, the party President statement during the CEC meeting was the reflection of the NPF way of functioning where party do not function unofficially but collectively take the decision as deem fit for the interest of the people.
Unlike the NDPP, the NPF believes and practice inner party democracy and thereby both the party functionaries and legislators’ function in tandem.
The NPF reminded the NDPP that it is the prerogative of the NPF party to take any decision and made its stand clear that during the last parliamentary election, the NPF supported the Congress candidate on the basis of one-time arrangement and it is only a political expediency.
The NPF have no interest to interfere in the inner development of the NDPP party but the public is the best judge particularly on the issue like the so-called leaked (fake) document addressed to the INC National President, Rahul Gandhi endorsing their support on the event the Congress comes to power at Centre. The general masses are bright enough see what is black and what is white as it is already in the public domain.
Regarding the Naga integration issue, the NPF time again reiterated that it is the birthright of the Naga people and the NPF will never compromise on this issue and will continue to pursue the integration of the Naga ancestral areas.
However, the Naga people was shocked last year (2018) on the month of April, when its Chief Minister, Neiphiu Rio at New Delhi declared to the media that integration is not possible, therefore, the attempt made by the NDPP to defend its leader by shifting a blame game to the then Home Minister Rajnath Singh will be a futile exercise.
It is time for the NDPP to give a serious thought while expressing their opinions on the recently held parliamentary election as it is a clear indication that for the first time in the history Nagaland parliamentary election that a ruling Government candidate winning by just 16 thousand votes. Therefore, it is a clear message for the NDPP that the general masses are not with them.
Lastly, the NPF advice the NDPP led Government to be committed to their promises and carry forward the welfare of the state so that our state may progress under their government.
