Parliamentary Secretary for tourism, art & culture and law & justice, Yitachu said Nagas have a good and strong legal system, therefore people practice Naga customary law in court of government right from the time of British rule in India and “we must preserve our traditional and justice system”.
He was speaking at the inauguration of Panchayat Hall at Sohomi village on January 15.
He expressed hope that the Panchayat Hall would be ‘a seat of justice and a place for delivering justice’.
Yitachu was of the opinion that freedom should be within the legal law and that one’s freedom should not affect other’s right but should enjoy freedom within the legal right by respecting other’s right, and therefore unless “we understand the real sense of freedom we cannot expect to deliver freedom for people of our society”.
In reply to demand for construction of a rest house in Sohomi village, Yitachu assured to set up an eco-camp instead of a rest house so as to promote eco-cultural tourism preservation in near future. He asked the villagers to extend corporation in brining development for the area
Parliamentary secretary was accompanied by ex-minister Vejoyi Vero, ex-MLA Chiehutso, a host of public leaders and officials of Phek district.
