DIMAPUR, SEPTEMBER 30 (MExN): The Kohima Ao Officers Forum/Telongjem (KAOT) expressed pain to note that the NSCN (IM) had declared one of its most respected member Alemtemshi Jamir (IAS) as an ‘anti-people’ and ‘anti-national’ as reported widely in the local print media. Pointing out that the forum had the outmost respect and strong trust in Alemtemshi, the Ao officers described him as a very bright, energetic and selfless officer who has worked tirelessly for the uplift of the Nagas throughout his career in the government in various capacities.
“He has initiated many innovative programmes in Nagaland for improving and bringing up the lot of the rural and common people of the State which is visible by anyone and everyone”, stated Dr K. Chuba (IAS), president and M. Imtila Jamir, general secretary. The KAOT stated that this observation is shared by his colleagues and subordinates who know him personally in the government and social circles and most importantly the Naga people who are the ultimate judge.
The KAOT, therefore felt that the declaration against Alemtemshi was unwarranted and unjustified. “If such a selfless officer working for the interest and uplift of the Naga people is to be branded as anti-people and anti-national we are at loss as to who can be pro-people”, the note stated and fervently asked the NSCN (IM) leadership to withdraw the declaration against its esteemed member in the interest of justice and progress.
