Dimapur, August 8 (MExN): NPCC today observed the 75th anniversary of the Quit India Movement at Conference Hall, Hotel Seb Tower, Dimapur. The programme was graced by Nabam Tuki, MLA and former CM, Arunachal Pradesh.
Addressing the programme, Nabam Tuki said that though the nation is faced with multiple problems making the lives of the common man difficult and the present state of affairs plaguing the people of Nagaland, it is the right time for Congress men and women to come forward against the lack of performance and mis-governance of the Government through teamwork.
Saying that the “present NPF's fight is for power and money,” Tuki said the Congress stands on principles and ideologies to secure all sections of people. He further assured all support to the NPCC to strengthen the Party not only in Nagaland but across the NE.
Addressing the programme, NPCC President, K. Therie said that in the course of the quest for freedom, Nagas have achieved Statehood. He said Nagaland Pradesh Congress forerunners and founding fathers were responsible for the State that Guarantees sovereign socialist, secular and democratic republic form of Government.
Alleging the BJP for using the various Government agencies like CBI, NIA and IT Department as “political vendetta armies” against their political opponents, Therie said the RSS and the BJP do not believe in the philosophy of democracy. Rather, they believe the philosophy of rule of racial purity or communalism. RSS and BJP believe in one nation, one religion, one tax and one language called Hindutva, he said.
Adding that the fight is not with Indians or Hindus or Muslims, Therie said the fight is against persecution of Christians and the distortion of fundamental rights provided in the Constitution.
Terming the multiple defections, constant changing of CM four times in one term and the patronage of BJP and RSS to get their blessings as a shame on the people of Nagaland, Therie said that leaders at the national level have lost trust and confidence in the Legislators from the NE states.
He said that only the Congress can bring back the “honour and restore the respect for the Nagaland Legislative Assembly as the party is firmly guided standing on the principles and ideology of sovereign socialism, secularism, democracy and republic governance.”
A press release issued by Keso Chakhesang, Press Secretary to K. Therie stated that welcome address was delivered by P. Ayang Aonok, Working President, NPCC and vote of thanks proposed by Jonathan Ao, General Secretary NPCC while the programme was chaired by Capt. G.K. Zhimomi, Chairman, Media Cell, NPCC.
