Kikrüma | December 21
Expressing concern at the situation in Manipur, MLA Kuzholuzo (Azo) Nienu today proposed setting up a goodwill mission to be sent to Manipur in order to allow good sense to prevail and normalcy to return, and also for the safety of the Nagas in Manipur. He urged either the civil society or the government to take up the matter.
He stated it is necessary to live in peace and harmony with neighbors as since time immemorial the Meiteis and Nagas have lived together as brother and neighbors. He said this while gracing the 58th general session of Kikrüma Students’ Union (KSU) at GHS Kikrüma under Phek district.
Azo also said that the imposition of economic blockade is unconstitutional as economic strangulation can lead to famine, hunger, thirst and death. “It's in violation to the Christian principles. And we as Christians must refrain from such activities and such activities should be stopped and called off,” the MLA stated.
Regarding the Good Governance Day, Azo appreciated the stand of the government and supported Chief Minister, TR Zeliang’s stand requesting the Government of India to observe the day on some other convenient day, so as not to hurt the Christian community.
Azo stated that it would be more appropriate if Good Governance Day is observed on March19, as stated by CM, the day Atal Bihari Vajpayee became the PM of India for the second term, as “good governance came into light during his second tenure.”
