Kohima, Dec 6: Leader of Naga People’s Front (NPF), Kuzholuzo (Azo) Nienu questioned the Government of India for taking too long to resolve the decades’ old Naga political issue.
Azo is also the Leader of the NPF Legislature Party. He said this while gracing the 52nd Phek Basa Sports meet.
The NPF leader then demanded that the issue should be resolved before Christmas. He, however, demanded that the government should “bring out the common draft and place it before the public domain for the consensus of the public opinion.”

Azo then said that the NPF is committed towards bringing final solution to the Naga political issue “which is honourable, acceptable and inclusive”. He further said that the priority of the party is for solution and not election.
Azo then said that NPF is not a party that is “after power or position but stands for the cause of the Naga people and the welfare of the Naga people as its priority.” He then maintained that NPF has joined the UDA government not for any other reason but to have a collective effort of all the legislators for the early settlement of the Naga political issue.
The NPF Legislature party leader then said that its MLAs are ready to pave a way if any solution comes. However, he said if the Election Commission of India announces elections then the NPF will have no option but to contest the election.
