Dimapur, November 16 (MExN): Strongly reacting to the resolution passed by the Changki Village Council and the CAASM which barred the entry of Opposition Leader and the Emremchangki clan from entering Changki village, the Mokokchung DCC today demanded the immediate revocation of the resolution and termed it as a ‘Draconian Act’ and a punishment of the Congress party as a whole.
A press release issued by the Mokokchung District Congress Committee (DCC) President, I Nungsang Jamir and General Secretary (Press) Tia Longkumer flayed the resolution relating to the policy of closing village gates during the forthcoming election.
“It is an unprecedented resolution and undemocratic and such action is preventing from humanitarian grounds,” the DCC opined and therefore asked that Changki villagers to differentiate the ancestral issues with that of political issues. “The decision of the VCC & so-called CAASM on 9th November is shocking, because the world and the nation as well as States are advancing with modern mindset for (uplift) of modern societies, where as Changki citizens are confused with ancestral and political issues, being a village of ‘Man of Peace’ awardee,” the DCC stated.
In this connection, the Mokokchung DCC asserted that the resolution, which debars the entry of State Opposition Leader, I Imkong to his native village as ‘indirectly punishment of INC as a whole’ and therefore termed it as a “Draconian Act”. The DCC therefore strongly demanded the immediate revocation of the resolution of the ‘VCC and so-called CAASM’.
