Dimapur, November 24 (MExN): The Congress Legislature Party (CLP) while strongly condemning the dastardly attack on the life of the Governor of Goa, S.C. Jamir on Saturday morning, observed that that the attack was due to the complete failure on the part of the State Government to provide adequate protection to one of the highest profile governors of India. The CLP resolved to strongly move the Governor of Nagaland to promulgate Article 356 of the Constitution of India and to exercise the special powers of the Governor of Nagaland under Article 371 (A) Clause B.
“In spite of the fact that S.C. Jamir has been under threat because of the ban imposed on him by the NSCN (IM) to enter Nagaland and in spite of the fact that he is in the Z-Plus Category of the threat perception, the State Government has totally failed to protect him”, Leader of Opposition and CLP Leader I. Imkong said in a statement.
On hearing of the ambush, the CLP held an emergency meeting today at the private residence of the Leader of Opposition and CLP Leader, I Imkong wherein the members condemned the “dastardly” attack in the strongest terms and at the same time, thanked God for saving the life of S.C. Jamir through divine intervention and providence.
And in view of what the Congress termed as “total breakdown of law and order and failure in all fronts in the State where the common people and the VIPs are no more safe” and taking into account the weakness of the State Government in protecting its people and its leaders where killings have become an everyday affair, the Congress Legislature Party resolved to demand imposition of President’s Rule (PR).
