The deadlock between the TR Zeliang led government in Nagaland and the Joint Coordination Committee (JCC) and Nagaland Tribes Action Committee (NTAC) continue to stand, even as the statewide indefinite bandh called by the Naga tribal bodies enters its day-four of the stir today.<br/><br/>While the JCC and the NTAC has been demanding the resignation of the Nagaland Chief Minister TR Zeliang on "moral grounds," the Chief Minister refused to do so citing constitutional justification that he enjoys the majority support in the assembly.<br/><br/>On Tuesday, the Tribes Council had issued a warning to all the elected legislators to withdraw their support to the Chief Minister by tomorrow. Further, the NTAC has announced that it will be organizing a Public Rally in Kohima tomorrow at 11 AM to impress harder on the demand for T R Zeliang to step down.<br/><br/>Meanwhile, Kohima Raj Bhavan sources informed that the State Governor P.B. Acharya and the Chief Minister rushed to Delhi this morning even as the Governor has convened a meeting at the Raj Bhavan Kohima this evening with all political party leaders of the State.
