DIMAPUR, DECEMBER 13 (MExN): The Peace Channel has condemned the arrest of anti corruption activists in Dimapur and stated that for peace to prevail “justice must be delivered to all irrespective of positions and status in society.”
A press note from the Peace Channel appealed to the Nagaland state government for unconditional release of the ACAUT members and give justice to the people. “The movement while condemning the act of injustice meted out urges the government in power to give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and give to God what belongs to God,” it added.
The Chumukedima Chamber of Commerce and Trade Association (CCCTA) meanwhile questioned how the ACAUT members could be arrested for “illegal trespass” when they went inside the two godowns with the consent of the caretaker.
Further, the police were informed and the police personnel on witnessing the illegal activities sealed the two godowns, and hence the question of criminal trespassing does not arise, the CCCTA in a press note said.
Demanding the immediate release of the detained ACAUT members unconditionally, the CCCTA extended full support to ACAUT for all the “noble jobs done for the poor.” It also requested the public of Chumukedima to extend full support in the fight against corruption.
