Longsa, January 10 (MExN): Minister for Health & Welfare, Imkong L Imchen today said that politicians, especially Ministers are continually berated by a section of Naga society. Speaking as the chief guest at the Golden Jubilee celebration of the Ongpangkong Kaketshir Mungdang (OKM) at Longsa, the Minister minced no words as he stated that the general Naga public mentality is against the politicians, especially the ministers. Stating that society is questioning the integrity of politicians and ministers, Imchen termed it as “very, very unfortunate” that the Naga public is treating the politicians and ministers as “condemned” objects and “outcasts.” Imchen while asserting that leaders are chosen by God said that the politicians are also trying in their own ways to be honest and to serve the people in their best way. He asserted that the elected members represent the people, their actions reflect public interest and that they serve the public. The Minister while citing the NPCC’s relentless demand for his resignation stated that the Congress party has yet to “convince” him to resign from the government.
