Imphal, March 1: President, Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee (NPCC), K. Therie has stated that Naga Peoples’ Front (NPF) is wasting people’s time and money in Manipur. “15 candidates of NPF know that they have no future either for their supporters or for their voters. They know they can never form the Government alone in Manipur’ Therie in a statement said. The NPCC president also said that economic blockade is bad thinking. Protests are a democratic process but starving people through economic blockade does not go well with humankind which includes infants, the sick and the old aged. Strangling the economy of humankind is not the way our religion teaches. The statement further said that People are also aware that the BJP has denied alliance with NPF in Manipur while NPF is senselessly talking against the Congress. This puts the Nagas of Manipur nowhere in the political arena. In politics, we must open opportunities for people to participate and get benefits. NPF’s politics has strangled the economy of Manipur. People have no openings and Youth opportunities are strangled. Youth exodus is our major concern. Thousands of NE youths have migrated to mainland cities in search of jobs. “We are proud of the few who have brought laurels but we are saddened and shamed with multiple stories. We must think together to open ways for our youth and siblings. We have beautiful countrysides and have been bestowed with abundant resources. We can convert them into opportunities of employment for all and also develop to be part of the most loving and hospitable places in the world with abundant organic food”, the president of the NPCC stated. He further added that progressive development are a matter of service to the people. One should not inject poison in the minds of people. Positive thinking is the way to progress. Peace and progress are always the objective of good politicians.
