Imchen said JLF clarified its position on Naga political issue and the possibilities of a lasting solution to the vexed Naga problem to the NSCN (K) following the legislators recent resolution and subsequent meeting with the Central leaders, including prime minister Manmohan Singh.

Cutting across party lines, the JLF on July had resolved that all the 60 members of the state assembly would resign to pave the way for an alternative political arrangement in the event of a political settlement to the protracted Naga conflict.

Recently all the legislators led by the speaker and the chief minister met the prime minister, Home minister Sushil Kumar Sindhe and UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi and conveyed their decision in the greater interest of the Naga people.
