DIMAPUR, DECEMBER 14 (MExN): The Mokokchung Town Lanur Telongjem (MTLT) and the Wokha unit of ACAUT today showed support to the ACAUT and condemned the state government for arresting the ACAUT leaders.
A press note from the MTLT, while expressing support to the ACAUT and the CCN, condemned the government’s actions and cautioned it “not to meddle with the public unless the government wants to dig its own pit to rest in peace.”
“Moreover, underestimating the public will backfire. Whitewashing is no more tenable in an informed world. It must be noted that the public will have the last bite not the government at the end of the day,” it stated.
The MTLT said that “reality must not be siphoned off by the government like it siphons off PDS rice” and advised the government to “give up the multi-crore lies for truth triumphs.”
Meanwhile, the Wokha Unit of the ACAUT expressed solidarity with people who look forward to “working day and night with the desire to live in a ‘Corruption Free Nagaland’.”
It condemned the arrest of the ACAUT members and demanded that they be immediately released without any condition. “When the State Government machinery itself is stained with so much of corruption, isn’t it itself a mockery? Should the Government delay justice and the situation go out of hand the same shall be responsible,” it cautioned.
It warned that if the State Government machinery thinks that arresting and jailing the right thinking citizens will make them rule over the innocent people calmly, then the ACAUT Wokha Unit will also join Jail Bharo. It also called upon the Central Government to intervene and “deliver justice to the people.”
