DIMAPUR, JUNE 1 (MExN): The Nationalist Democratic Progressive Party (NDPP) today termed allegations made by one Pankaj Gupta on social media as “baseless.”
A press release from the NDPP stated “it is easy for people to comment and propagate baseless and fabricated statements from the confines of their homes without realising or acknowledging the sacrifices the government and the frontline workers are putting in to safeguard the citizens.”
“If the person concerned is so sure of the allegations he has made, what is stopping him from facing and challenging the government instead of insinuating himself behind closed doors, in the comfort of his home without stepping into Nagaland while making up stories in his imaginary world?” the party questioned.
It meanwhile urged the authorities to “book the person concerned for making seditious and malicious allegations against the government.”
The NDPP also termed it “unfortunate” that the Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee (NPCC) have come out attacking the Chief Minister and the Government in recent times.
“The NPCC should first explain to the people why their governments in the past had decided to neglect the basic needs of the people before attacking the government of the day who are working round the clock to provide for the safety and well being of all the citizens,” it said.
The party meanwhile appreciated the PDA Government, the Chief Secretary all government officials, medical and frontline workers for their dedicated efforts in battling this global pandemic.
