Phek, January 18 (MExN): NPF Leader of Legislature Party, Kuzholuzo (Azo) Nienu today categorically asserted that with election or no election, the NPF top priority remains for the resolution of the Naga political issue and said that “the party stand committed for the solution first and can make way for any new dispensation if required from the party.”

Press Bureau, NPF in a press release stated that addressing the Phek Area Sports Association 33rd meet as special guest, the NPF leader Azo said, “had the Central Government been sincere enough in bringing the Naga issue to a logical conclusion before announcement of election, the NPF party including the Nagas will be happy but before any settlement has been achieved at and the election is announced, the party is well prepared with many exuberant candidates to contest the 2023 election.”

He reminded the Nagas that the NPF have joined the UDA Government as alliance partner only on the condition that collectively the whole party give effort for an early settlement of the Naga political issue and not for any portfolio or power.

Azo also said that “if the Election Commission of India announced election on contrary to the wishes of the Nagas for solution, the NPF is ready to fight for the battle” and asserted that “Nagas will stand with the NPF party and after the formation of the new Government, the party with more vigour will pursue for inking the final solution to the long pending Naga political problem.”

He also said “NPF was optimistic that final settlement will reach before election and has been keeping silent for long but God has blessed the party so much that many intending candidates including young dynamic leaders, intellectuals, women leaders and well placed senior leaders are approaching for the party tickets but the party is hesitant with the expectation of solution, however, if at all NPF is to fight the election, it will issue the tickets only to the winnable candidature.”

Azo also stated that many Nagas have forgotten its roots and a day might come when we completely abolish our identity and culture as Nagas for the sake of power and thirst of money but reiterated that as long as the oldest regional political party NPF exist, it will protect and preserve the true identity of the Naga people as the party being the guardian of the Naga people. Therefore, he called upon the people that every Nagas should come out from their comfort zone and give effort for the progress of the regional NPF party so that it can safeguard the identity and the aspiration of the Naga people.
