Dimapur, May 2 (MExN): Referring to the April 22 arson at Wungram colony, Purana Bazar, the Poumai Hoho strongly reminds that the misdemeanor or mistake committed by a few individuals should not be interpreted as by a community. The Hoho vehemently condemned the unprecedented action of the mob that destroyed properties worth Crores of rupees.
“The mistake committed by a few individuals should not be taken as the crime of the whole community/colony as a whole under any circumstances, but let the law of the land be allowed to take its own course of action upon the (perpetrators)” a note from the Hoho issued through its general secretary H Sosu stated. It held view that the act reflected that Nagas are still lagging “far behind,” having no respect and love for one another as brothers in true spirit and “very fast in action with evil desire.” The Hoho appealed to all sections of the society not resort to “primitive type of forceful attitude” against one another, which, it reminded, is no longer applicable in the modern times. “Since time immemorial Nagas have been living together as one race under common Naga customary law through which any differences, problems could be sorted out” it stated.
“Today, our life security is in the hand of the Almighty God only. We can boast nothing of our own without God. Even a mighty nation can be easily destroyed of the people don’t have the fear of the Lord” the Hoho reminded the people.
The Hoho also appreciated the Tangkhul community leaders for their restraint and self-control in the face of the misery and pain. “We, the Nagas must follow the tenets of Christ above human greed and material gain” the Hoho stated while sharing in the grief and loss of the victims of the April 22 outrage. It ahs appealed to the government and public alike to contribute to the welfare of the affected, displaced communities.
