Resolution of the CEC, NPF :: October 20 2017
Kohima, 20th October, 2017
Resolutions
The Central Executive Committee of the Naga People’s Front, in its meeting held on October 20, 2017, at the Central Headquarters, arrived at the following resolutions:
1. The CEC welcomes the decision of the Election Commission of India dated October 17, 2017, in referring back the matter to the party to put to rest the present crisis once and for all, and places on record its sincere appreciation to the ECI for the just and transparent order issued as per the provisions of Article XV of the NPF Constitution; and towards this, endorses the Party President Dr Shurhozelie Liezietsu to summon the General Convention of the party, as desired by the ECI, on November 22, 2017 at 11 am either at Khuochiezie or IG Stadium.
2. While reiterating its support to the on-going peace process between the NSCN (IM) and the Government of India, the CEC expresses its appreciation to the Government of India for inviting the Working Committee of the Naga National Political Groups for negotiation. It has been the consistent stand of the NPF that solution to the Naga political problem should be inclusive of all stakeholders and this solution should be expedited by all concerned so as to bring about normalcy, peace and prosperity to our land.
3. Reiterate our appeal to the NSCN (K) to renounce violence and return to the negotiating table with the Government of India as desired by the Naga people.
4. Vehemently condemns the arbitrary dismissal of the Constitutionally-installed Government headed by Dr Shurhozelie by Governor PB Acharya and unconstitutionally installing the TR Zeliang Government saying the tussle for NPF leadership was not an internal party problem. But within a month or so, the Governor had the temerity to state in a press interview that it is an internal party problem and that the party must reconcile. In Tamil Nadu, Governor C Vidyasagar Rao told the four Opposition leaders today that he could not intervene in the issue of 19 AIADMK “rebels” as they “continue to be AIADMK party members”, but here in Nagaland, the Governor had done just the opposite!
5. Reaffirms the party’s commitment to remain with the National Democratic Alliance since NPF is one of its founding members in 1977. However, severance of ties with the BJP, as decided by the CEC on July 18, 2017, shall continue.
6. To ensure clarity and avoid duplicity in the Constitution of the party, the CEC authorizes the party President Dr Shurhozelie Liezietsu to set up a Constitution Review Committee so that the proposed amendments/ changes in the Constitution can be put up of adoption in the scheduled November 22, 2017 General Convention of the party as required by Article XVI of the Constitution of the party.
