Kohima, Dec 14 (NEPS): Nagaland Chief Minister TR Zeliang has moved a resolution on the Naga political issue in the Assembly today.
The Four-Point Resolution on the Naga political issue moved by the Chief Minister, who is the leader of the House, in the Assembly today, urged the Government of India to take “emergent and extraordinary steps” to usher in an “honorable and acceptable” solution to the Naga political issue well before the General Elections to the 13th Nagaland Legislative Assembly scheduled in March, 2018.
It also urged the Election Commission of India (ECI) not to announce before the General Elections to the 13th Nagaland Legislative Assembly until the “Government of India arrives at an honorable and acceptable solution to the Naga political issue in order to enable all Nagas to enjoy their due democracy and other rights and function as a more empowered electorate during the elections that may be held after the solution.”
It also called upon civil societies, tribal hohos, church and other organizations concerned, to cooperate with the vision of the Government in this regard, and also further called upon all “political parties and Independent parties and Independent candidates” to implement the demand for “solution before elections” in the field, whenever necessary, so that “utmost unity is displayed before the Government of India and the Election Commission of India.”
