Contrary to the claims of the DAN Government on the law and order front in the State, the State Congress Legislature Party (CLP) has alleged that the prevailing law and order situation had exposed the government’s failure to fulfill its promises to instill a sense of security among the public, especially businessmen.
“There has been excessive kidnappings and extortions by anti-social elements creating a fear psychosis among the public. The slogan of ushering peace by this present Government has been found hollow and self congratulatory, whereas in reality the situation has gone from bad to worse,” said parliamentary secretary, CLP, C Apok Jamir, MLA, in a press release.
The CLP at a meeting held Monday here in Dimapur, which was chaired by leader of opposition Chingwang Konyak, also declared that the promises made by DAN Government on development and prosperity had become only a slogan to fool the general public, as reality was “seen and felt by the public in our daily life.”
CLP members thanked the NPCC for its “pro-active” role in countering the “mis-governance” of the DAN Government and highlighting the “deteriorating state of affairs” and various other issues including the “false and prejudicial stands” of blaming the Congress party for imposition of President’s Rule in Nagaland before the assembly election.
Alleging that the State Assembly Speaker had, without applying his mind and understanding of the Law, disallowed the dissident and Independent MLAs from voting in the no-trust motion against the DAN government, the CLP said the “ill-intended” role played by the Speaker was exposed when the Gauhati High Court overruled the Speaker’s action as “illegal and unfortunate.” The Congress party reiterated its stand that the Speaker and chief minister should step down on moral ground for “misleading the people.”
Asserting that the CLP was united and strong and would continue to work selflessly for the welfare of the people of Nagaland, CLP said “rumours” such as dissidence and disunity among its members were nothing but “cheap tricks” of the DAN Government to create confusion in the minds of the people. “The CLP would act as a vigilant for the people against the disease of corruption and nepotism spread by the present DAN government, which has become the hallmark of this DAN government,” CLP said.
Further, the CLP expressed gratitude to AICC president Sonia Gandhi for appointing Oscar Fernandez as the party’s incharge of North-East and hoped that the Congress party in the State would be strengthened under his leadership.
The State Congress also thanked the outgoing AICC general secretary Margaret Alva for her contribution to the Congress party during her tenure.
