DIMAPUR, JUNE 28 (MExN): The Aggrieved Medical Employees Union Wokha while condemning the bomb blast at the residence of CMO Wokha on June 26, expressed its displeasure on the “immature remark by Nagaland In service Doctors Association (NIDA) that functioning of the of the CMO office is being obstructed by some group, whereas the solution to the present problem is clearly beyond the jurisdiction of the office of CMO Wokha.”
A press note from the President of the AMEUW, Thungjanbeni Lotha and its General Secretary Ludemo Lotha stated that the NIDA “should know that staging a protest is not in our interest, nor we are doing it willfully as we also have children and families to take care.”
It added that, “since we are left with no option other than to “starve and beg” the AMEUW chose to stage democratic protest at the CMO office as it is the legitimate platform to take our grievances to the government.” It added that the AMEUW does not have the manpower, resources or competence like the NIDA to take its matter on a higher level. It stated that until a solution arrives from the government’s side, the AMEUW would continue with its peaceful and democratic protest for the injustice meted to its members. It may be noted that the AMEUW protest continued for the fifth day.
