Kohima, October 12 2011:
Nagaland Urban Development Minister Dr Shurhozelie said he sincerely believed that the Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh was "sincere" to solve the longstanding Naga political problem.
Talking to NEPS here today, the senior DAN Minister, who is also President of the ruling Naga People's Front (NPF), said the Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh was sincere to find solution to the protracted Naga political issue.
"The Center's interlocutor to the political negotiations, RS Pandey, is also sincere to solve the
problem," the Minister said.
Dr Shurhozelie also made it very clear that in order to translate their "sincerities" into a "reality," New Delhi should have to oversee
works of her "intelligent agencies" here with extraordinary efforts.
"I am saying this that many Nagas, not all, are susceptible to flattery and of course, they have other weaknesses also," the Minister pointed out.
"As such once her intelligent agencies are properly checked, their sincerities will clearly emerge unhindered" .
Dr Shurhuzelie believed that the role of her "intelligent agencies" here were not to break process but to report "actual facts" to New Delhi.
"I stand for one and am saying that they (intelligent agencies) are not doing it," he stated.
And as long as they continued working in the same fashion, situation would be fluid as ever before, the Minister cautioned urging New Delhi to oversee these areas so as to translate their "sincerities" into a "reality" .
Informing that he was still not aware of the contents of the ongoing talks, Dr Shurhozelie disclosed that they had also not asked the parties concerned for the contents either.
"Because we are not interfering in the process as our role is a facilitator," he added.
"We want to be sincere but unfortunately, the people fail to understand our sincerity and taking our sincerity as our weakness,"
the Minister explained.
"If they don't want us to interfere, we have not comment," Dr Shurhozelie said.
"But if they ask our comment, we are ready." He also said looking at the current stage of the political negotiations between the conflicting parties; it showed that "They are also not clear in their mind how to go" .
"It appears that New Delhi is also finding difficulty now," he stated.
