Dimapur, October 3 (MExN): NPF President Dr Shurhozelie Liezietsu appealed to the NSCN (IM) to review their decision against state bureaucrat Alemtemshi Jamir, saying that the bureaucrat should not be entangled in the controversy surrounding the publication of the ‘Bedrock of Naga Society’ by the NPCC in the year 2000.
A press statement issued by Dr Shurhozelie Liezietsu said that the Congress party and all its members in Nagaland should be held responsible for what was written in ‘Bedrock of Naga Society.’ He said that a bureaucrat, as a government servant has the bounden duty to work with any political party that is in power during any given period of time and act as they are directed by the politicians ruling the state.
“I do not know to what extend Mr Alemtemshi Jamir got himself involved in the drafting of the booklet,” said Shurhozelie, “Even if Mr Alemtemshi got involved in the drafting of the booklet I still believe that he must have acted upon as per the directive of the party in power during that given period of time.”
In this regard, Shurhozelie expressed his honest feeling that the bureaucrat should not be entangled into the controversy regarding the NPCC booklet. He also appealed to the NSCN (IM) to review their decision and revoke the ‘Azha’ ‘as a reciprocal action to this request’.
