The development comes after Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio on April 13 had said, that the government will actively pursue the Naga political issue once the parliamentary elections are over. CM Rio specifically said that the Nagaland government constituted Political Affairs Committee (PAC) will hold consutltations with the civil society and the Naga nationalist groups after the Lok Sabha elections.
CM Rio also affirmed that a solution to the decades old political issue is possible under the NDA government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Worth mentioning, that in March, 2008 the first Political Affairs Committee was constituted by the then Democratic Alliance of Nagaland (DAN) government to pursue the vexed issue.
The objective of the committee’s formation was to pursue and strive for political solutions to the Naga political issues, besides working to bring unity amongst the different sections of the Naga society.
