Parliamentary Secretary for PWD (Housing), Er. Levi Rengma today stressed on the need to speak the truth and called upon the people to have courage to say wrong is wrong and right is right.
Speaking at the annual meeting-cum-seminar of Rengma Public Organization Kohima here at Ura Academy Hall, Levi stated that the decision taken in any social set-up will be meaningless as long as there is deficit of speaking the truth. “When a decision has to be taken let us be truthful and take decision,” he stated, while asking the people not to hide the truth.
The Parliamentary Secretary also underscored the need for unity among the Rengmas in particular and Nagas in general and told the people to change their mindset and say “us” instead of “I”.
“Society cannot be progressed by individual alone,” he said, adding a collective responsibility is required to take the society forward.
He further maintained that society can develop and progress only if “we all think that it is my responsibility, without me my society cannot progress, without me my society cannot be good.” He affirmed that positive development will emerge only if the individual starts thinking on that line.
Er. Levi added that Nagas are very conscious of our identity along with our tribe. Meanwhile, he said the society cannot progress unless there is organizational law, rules and discipline. Rules and law of the society that is framed should be applicable to every one of us, he added.
Earlier, Rengma Hoho President, Kenyuseng Tep shared greetings, while Dr. Kenilo Kath, Assistant Professor, Mt. Tiyi College, Wokha presented a paper on “Rengma identity & culture”. The meeting also saw approval of constitution, general discussion, adoption of resolution and cultural presentation.
