Rahul promises to resolve Naga political problem

Congress president Rahul Gandhi Wednesday gave his commitment to help resolve the decades-long Naga political problem if the party forms government at the Centre after the election.

It is a complex issue involving multiple stakeholders and talks would be held with all of them to find out a solution, Gandhi said addressing a poll meeting here.

"I will not give empty promises but will try to resolve the Naga political issue by working with all the stakeholders," he said.

The Centre signed a framework agreement with the NSCN(IM) in 2015 and six Naga nationalist political groups have joined the peace talks separately. But there has not been a breakthrough on the Naga problem.

Gandhi said the Congress believes that every single state in India has its own culture, history and belief but the BJP-led NDA government is trying to impose a single idea on the people of the country.

He asked, "Who do they think they are to dictate terms on how to live to the people of the North East?
