Chief Minister and Leader of the House, Neiphiu Rio in his concluding remarks on Naga Political Issue thanked all the participants for speaking with good intention and clarity by citing historical facts and figures without any reservation thereby enlightened the house. 

Altogether, 6 resolutions on Naga Political Issue have been taken unanimously by the Nagaland Legislative Assembly and 5 resolutions have been taken outside the NLA after discussion and deliberation with the churches, tribal HoHos and CSOs.

Rio stated that the elected members of the NLA has every right to voice and speak out the voice of the people as they have the mandate of the people. Like the opposition-less government of the NLA, he also urged the Naga groups to come together on the negotiating table and discuss the issue in order to take a decision which is inclusive, honourable and acceptable. 

The leader of the house said that the elected members of NLA would first have a consultation with the National Groups before meeting the CSOs, the churches and the tribal Hohos. Rio also urged the Naga groups to listen to the voice of the people if they are mandated by the people.

Due to taxation in the name of the ongoing Naga Political Issue, the businesses manned by the non-locals, government servants and farmers have been confronting difficulties. At this present scenario, no investors from outside the State will come to the State for investment, he added.
