Kohima: Nagaland Transparency, Public Rights Advocacy and Direct Action Org. On June 30, Nagaland’s more than 3,000-strong membership-based organization (NTPRADAO) issued a stern warning to lawmakers.
The group claims that they will resort to extreme measures if the 14th Nagaland Legislative Assembly (NLA) bows to external pressure and passes a bill in support of the Uniform Civil Code (UCC). The NTPRADAO has threatened to storm and burn the official quarters of all 60 legislators in a direct act of protest.
In a related development, the Rising People’s Party (RPP) on 26 June expressed its opposition to the implementation of the UCC, calling it “one nation, one religion, one language” promoted by the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). What was consistent with the narrative?
The RPP pointed out that the BJP has included a promise to implement the UCC in its 2019 Lok Sabha election manifesto. However, the party stands strongly against such a move, citing concerns about the broader concept of homogeneity.
The RPP also recalled the BJP government’s earlier attempt to implement Hindi as India’s national language in 2022 under the “One Nation, One Language” formula. This effort met with considerable resistance from various southern and northeastern states, with Nagaland standing out as an exception due to the silence of the NDPP-BJP alliance.
