Wokha, February 22 (MExN): The Lotha Hoho today stated that the Joint Coordination Committee’s demands for the state government to step down, nullification of the civic polls, wherever conducted, suspension of the Police Commissioner and the commander of the errant IRP etc, submitted to the Nagaland state government are fully justified and the Lotha Hoho fully endorse and support the demands of the JCC.
The Lotha Hoho in a press release issued by its chairman Mhao Humtsoe and General Secretary Mhondamo Ovung stated that LH will continue to stand steadfast with the Naga public for review and amendment of the Nagaland Municipal Act, 2001, amended in 2006.
The Lotha Hoho also demanded that “NMA should be reviewed and rewritten, Section by Section, to the full satisfaction of the Naga people, before any civic poll is held.”
It further condemned in the highest degree, “the childish and ludicrous behaviour of the Nagaland state government, in not honouring its written MOU with the NBCC and the JCC, on 30.01.2017, which has resulted in the loss of two precious lives of Naga youth.”
Meanwhile, the LH expressed condolences to the families of the death and pray that the almighty God may bestow on them the understanding and courage, to bear the bereavement.
