Zeliang stands by 'solution first' call
"As the incumbent chief minister of Nagaland, I am more than willing to offer my services in the talks between the government and the NNPGs (Naga national political groups) in whatever possible ways to bring about an honourable and amicable solution to the Naga political issue," he said.
Zeliang said his meeting with BJP national president Amit Shah in New Delhi on Thursday "had been misunderstood and misinterpreted by a section of the people who questioned my commitment towards finding a solution to the Naga political issue. I would like to tell you all that I still firmly stand by my call for a solution and not election."
