Senior BJP leader Sanjay Paswan Tuesday claimed that the vexed Naga political issue will be resolved on priority basis under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi after the Lok Sabha polls.

Responding to queries from media persons during a press conference here, the BJP Manifesto Committee member and former Union Minister, said "Naga issue though not simple will be sorted out in the second regime of the BJP led NDA government."
On the assurance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to resolve the Naga issue, Paswan said "Nobody can blame our Prime Minister for any such lapses because he is trying honestly and sincerely and it will be sorted out in the next regime of Modi ji."
He said the Kashmir and Naga issues are two great concerns and claimed both will be "resolved on priority basis after the Lok Sabha elections."
Asked about North East people opposing the contentious Citizenship Amendment Bill (CAB), Paswan said "our party line is clear ... no country in the world is ready to accept the immigrants or infiltrators."
He said " ... the fabric of North East shall not be disturbed and my party has a sense of gratitude for the North East people because they are solidly behind the BJP. Our leaders are in touch with the people and bodies of the region to resolve the oppositions regarding the Bill."
