Kohima, February 16 (MExN): Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee (NPCC) today refuted allegations of SC Jamir campaigning for a Congress candidate in Mokokchung.
“BJP Nagaland accusing Dr SC Jamir of campaigning for Congress candidate in Mokokchung is a cheap political gimmick to hog the limelight,” NPCC stated in a press release from its Media Cell.
It reminded that Congress candidate is directly pitted against Dr SC Jamir’s son C Apok Jamir contesting on NPF ticket at 27 Mokokchung Town Assembly Constituency “and cannot expect a father to disown his son.”
The NPCC further clarified that Jamir “no longer has any connection with the Congress party ever since he allowed both his son and his younger brother to ditch Congress and join NPF in 2015.”
Meanwhile, NPCC stated it is time for the people of Nagaland to “wake up and see the reality on the hidden dangers of BJP-RSS Hindutva ideology.”
“The NDPP which is just a breakaway faction of NPF has more than willingly entered into a pre-poll alliance with BJP while the NPF and BJP are still together in government as DAN partners. These regional parties have become hostage to the BJP-RSS high command and Nagas cannot expect anything good out of their attempt to portray each other in bad light and fool the people as they are all sailing in the same communal boat being steered by the BJP-RSS,” it added.
