Supports business community and frontal organisations of Chumoukedima area
Dimapur, February 29 (MExN): The ACAUT Nagaland today affirmed its support to the business community and frontal organisations of Chumoukedima area, while stating that their call for downing of shutters on February 29 on account of the shooting of two labourers for non-payment of tax is “fully justified.”
In a press release issued by its Media Cell, ACAUT Nagaland asserted that unless the demand of the Chumoukedima organisations is met, it will have no other option but resort to calling for shutter down protest on a wider scale.
Meanwhile, the release stressed that on February 13, 2014, Chumoukedima area represented by CCCTA, CTMA, CTYO, CSU, CTU, GBs, NGOs and churches had adopted ‘One Government One Tax’ and had also resolved that any trader violating the resolution not to pay tax to any of the factions shall be expelled from their jurisdiction. Accordingly, two traders were expelled from Choumoukedima for violating the public resolution of February 13, 2014, the release said.
Against this background, ACAUT stated, the shooting of the two labourers for non-payment of tax is not only a law and order situation but akin to insulting the February 13 public resolution. ACAUT in the statement condemned the incident.
