IMPHAL, April 12: A statement of the UNC has charged that the reported statements of the new state Home Minister on the supposed options that are emerging in the Indo-Naga dialogue to find an honourable settlement to the Naga issue reeks of utter disrespect of the Naga people and their political aspirations.
It has further stated that the Naga movement has dragged on for so long because of individuals like him.
Instead of facilitating the peace process, as is his duty, this Naga becomes the spoilsport, for the applause from the gallery which threw down the silvers. “Does he really believe in what he has uttered?,” the Naga body asks while adding, “But history will record his due place in its pages”.
