Kohima: Former Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee president K Therie is again calling for President's Rule in Nagaland. He claims this is the "only way" to push through Naga political agreements and find a quick solution. Therie insists his demand has mass support from people desperate for peace.
Therie attacked the Naga People's Front, calling the party a roadblock to progress. He argued the NPF contradicts itself by promising an early solution in public while secretly demanding fresh ministerial-level talks. According to Therie, the agreements between the Indian government and Naga groups are already legal tender documents.
The veteran politician turned his sights on the BJP. He noted the BJP promised election for solution back in 2018. Seven years of waiting have led Therie to conclude that the current administration must go. He alleged that the Prime Minister wants a solution but lacks necessary cooperation from the Nagaland government.
Therie cited Articles 355, 356, and 365 of the Constitution to justify his demand. He claimed the state government failed to manage law and order or address internal strife in Nagaland and Manipur. He further pointed to failures regarding Article 371A, the Inner Line Permit, and the Register of Indigenous Inhabitants of Nagaland. The state has failed its duties. Therie also criticized the removal of R N Ravi as governor and interlocutor, suggesting the move damaged the peace process.
