State home minister G. Kaito Aye while responding to Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee (NPCC)’s criticism on law and order situation in the state Monday questioned the latter’s role as a constructive opposition.
In a statement, G. Kaito while welcoming constructive criticism from the opposition said if the opposition started playing “destructive role” and could not digest the “good works and realities” in the state, then its role as an opposition was under question.
He also said that one should be “very cautious” while criticizing Naga political related issues and regretted that NPCC had the habit of mixing up with the Naga political issue with law and order problem.
On the allegation that the home minister had taken a “naïve approach” to the factional clashes in the state, Kaito said NPCC still failed to realize that the state government had “nothing to do” with the factional clashes as the factions were engaged in cease-fires with the government of India and all these clashes have to be dealt with the cease-fire monitoring mechanism headed by the chairman appointed by the government of India.
With regard to the illegal taxation issue, the home minister said the state government was “equally concerned” for the scourge and has been appreciating the movement launched by ACAUT.
He reiterated that as a responsible government, NPF-led DAN has been discharging its responsible duties maintaining law and order and protecting the lives of the civilians. Kaito lamented that NPCC could not appreciate the realities in the state.
Taking exception to terming his statement as “insult to the memory of innocent civilians killed or injured in public places” by NPCC, Kaito said such “unmindful and blind allegation” hurled against his response to NPCC statement would not be appreciated.
