WC NNPGS DEMANDS CM RIO TO REVOKE MOU ON MINERAL & BORDER AREAS WITH ASSAM

Working Committee, Naga National Political Groups has demanded chief minister Neiphiu Rio to withdraw from any Memorandum of Understanding with Assam over the disturbed, unresolved boundary areas from any attempt for exploration of mineral resources are they are “guarded by historical and political Naga sanctity and therefore, immoral and unacceptable to stakeholders.” WC, NNPGs through its media cell, asserted that any MoU signed with the government of Assam at the present crucial juncture would be considered a direct attempt to sell off Naga rights and warned that the “consequences would be widespread and unimaginable”. WC pointed out that both Assam and Nagaland do not have any power to negotiate or enter into mutual agreements on oil exploration or any sharing contract on the unresolved border areas, as the entire matter had been subjected to intense political negotiations between the Centre and WC, NNPGs.WC asked Assam and Nagaland governments not to forget the past history of violence and conflict along the borders that resulted in loss of hundreds of innocent lives and police personnel. It cautioned that the “handshakes should not invite another round of bloodshed”. Further, WC said elected representatives of Nagaland from oil-bearing areas of Mon, Longleng, Mokokchung, Wokha, Niuland, Dimapur and Peren, must understand that the proposed MoU on oil exploration by the “autocratic-like government” was another scam to loot the future of Naga people. Pointing out that the onus was on the legislators to make their position clear on the matter, WC insisted that the commitment to work for Indo-Naga political solution must be applied in letter and spirit. It noted that ignoring the stakeholders, the current dispensation appeared to be creating an economic platform to drain the wealth of future generations
