The Yatra in Kohima started from Congress Bhavan and hundreds of party activists, leaders of Nationalist Peoples’ Party (NPP) and the public joined it. They walked till the Indoor Stadium holding banners and placards and then travelled in vehicles upto Kigwema village, about 16.5 km away.
The banners and placards carried by the party workers read 'We need action not words', 'We need development', 'We need quality leadership' and 'Save Nagaland Save Nation'.
Nagaland has an all-party government which seeks to take forward the Naga political issue and the State is due for an Assembly poll by March next year.
Addressing the gathering, Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee (NPCC) president Khriedi Theunuo said that there is no rule of law in the State and people do not respect the government because it does not work for their welfare.
Government projects had failed in Nagaland as the State Government had wrongly assured the implementing agencies, he alleged.
Referring to BJP's manifesto for the 2019 general election which promised implementation of the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) and the controversial Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), Mr. Theunuo said “Nagas have to be very careful because if the UCC is enforced our [Nagas] rights will be taken away".
