DIMAPUR, MAY 13 (MExN): The Against Corruption and Unabated Taxation (ACAUT) Nagaland has appealed to all organizations to refrain from demanding “forceful donations.” ACAUT Nagaland, in a press note, informed that it has received a “photocopy of a donation demand made to a food joint by a certain students’ union in Dimapur, which the Food Joint paid.”
It stated that the “donation paper uses the word ‘willing contribution.’” It questioned the use of this terminology and asserted that ACAUT Nagaland is not just against the unabated taxations made by Naga Political Groups but also against “these kinds of taxation and forceful contributions by various organizations and unions.”
It called upon everyone, including the public, to co-operate and stated that “even if the taxations by the NPGs are streamlined, if there still exists these kinds of forceful donations, ACAUT Nagaland’s efforts will be null and void.”
ACAUT Nagaland claimed that the said “donation paper” had the concerned organization’s Finance Secretary’s name, signature and phone number. “ACAUT Nagaland chooses not to embarrass that students’ union and its office bearers. Let this be served as a reminder to discontinue such practices,” it added. ACAUT Nagaland informed that people can reach out to it in order to obtain the photocopy of the ‘donation paper,’ for purposes of “confirmation and proof.”
