Mokokchung, September 19 (MTNews): Responding to the Central Nagaland Tribes Council (CNTC) on their demand for imposition of President’s Rule in the state, the Janata Dal United (JDU) Nagaland has stated that solution to Naga Political problem does not warrant the imposition of President’s Rule.

 

JDU Nagaland stated in a press release today that it is “flabbergasted” to know about the CNTC’s demand for imposition of President’s Rule in Nagaland with reasons which are “absolutely unjustified.”

 

“The Nagas have undergone untold sufferings in the past as a result of President’s Rule (PR) and the atrocities committed during the period of PR are still a nightmare for those living victims who have faced the hardships during such emergency,” JDU Nagaland said in the press release.

 

The state JDU said that, “rather, certain interim arrangements under a vigilant civil set-up can precede in facilitating any political settlement.”

 

The JDU Nagaland while reminding the UDA Government, particularly the BJP for its pre-election promise of ‘Election for Solution’, said that it sincerely feels that imposition of PR is not in the right direction. “If Government of India is not committed to accept the will of the people for Solution before Election, then democratic process of election must be held instead of PR,” the JDU Nagaland contested.

 

In this regard, the JDU said that it would like to convey to the public that it is “ready to either be a part of Solution before Election or participate in the durbar of the electorate if Election is held.”
