New Delhi, August 18

The Congress today said the Nagaland peace agreement announced by the government in 2015 was a “farce”, and that “no solution had been reached yet”.

“For 25 years, there has been a ceasefire in Nagaland. The Prime Minister lied about the peace agreement being reached on August 3, 2015. But for the last seven years, nothing in the name of peace has been achieved. The solution is being delayed because the government is seeking the support of armed groups of NSCN to win Assembly elections in the state. They just want to win elections,” said Congress spokesperson Ajoy Kumar.

Accusing the BJP of compromising with national interests for electoral gains, Kumar said the Congress entered into an agreement with the AGP in Assam well aware that it would lose the elections. He asked why the ED suddenly stopped probing CM Neiphiu Rio’s assets.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
