Kohima: The Naga People’s Front (NPF) president, Dr. Shürhozelie Liezietsu Friday said that NPF cannot be compared with any other political parties as the party came into being with its uniqueness and history for the Naga people.
Speaking on the induction programme of new office bearers of “NPF 8th Western Angami assembly constituency”, Dr. Shürhozelie said that unlike other political parties “that came into existence to contest elections and fight for power, the birth of NPF has a different story”. He stated that the NPF was given birth in the “Naga soil during the heaviest bloodshed was going on”. He termed that NPF is the only political party that is acting as a guardian body of the Naga people and the party will remain with the same aims and objectives till the Naga political problem is solved.

The NPF president also claimed that NPF does not crave for power and money but to bring peace and justice and raise the voice of the Naga people. Therefore, he said that NPF is not a mere political party but a party with a purpose for the Naga people.
Dr Shurhozelie also pointed out that many new political parties came to Nagaland for elections but all faded away “because they did not have any root”. He also said that NPF has come across every thick and thin and faced all weathers but the party still stands strong as it is deeply rooted with the Naga society.
Dr. Shürhozelie also maintained that NPF signifies the identity of the Naga people. He added that the party will always stand to safeguard the regional interest and the Naga people and to carry forward the aspiration of the Naga people for the early resolution of the vexed Naga political problem where the solution should be honourable, acceptable and inclusive.
