First of all I would like to Congratulate you and your esteemed department for making an effort to clean the Electoral Roll of our State which is the genesis of all corruption and Ills of our State.
The programme to invites all stake holders including Tribal Hoho’s and NGO’s on 1st April 2016 to discuss ways and means to clean our electoral roll of various ills and anomalies is a much welcome step by you and your department.
However to our utter dismay and surprise, the omission of Tribal Hoho’s like from the minority Tribe like KUKI, KACHARI, GARO & Karbi/Mikirs in such crucial meeting makes the Indigenous Tribes of Nagaland who at one time use to represent 3-4 constituency before the corruption of our Electoral Roll system, a very alien and unwanted in the Democratic process as enshrined as RIGHTS by our Constitution.
The marginalization’s of this minority Tribes of Nagaland started with the dubious and multiple entry of electoral roll from different district who has manage under the nose of the Law to register themselves in multiple places and the failure of the Election offices has trembled upon the Rights of this Minority Tribes and thereby making them minority in once their dominance Constituencies.
The attempt to marginalized this Minority Tribal people and the silence of the CEO office to check such dubious and corrupt practices of Multiple entries from different district as well as from other States is nothing but clear Violation of our and other Law abiding Citizens Rights conferred by our Constitution of India of Right to Equality.
The multiple entries of people in various within and other Constituencies is a VIOLATION of various laws under the Representation of People Acts but also amount to CHEATING and INPERSANATIONs under the Indian Penal Code thereby It also violates the Right to Equality as Fundamental Right Violation.
The CEO and its office is thereby requested to CLEAN the Electoral roll without any Fears and whims, without any Prejudices and Discriminations where the effort should go on far footing to give the Principle of Fairness and protect the Right to Equality and Right to Equal Opportunities to elect the best leaders to lead the State of Nagaland.
The CEO office is humbly prayed to invite the Constitutionally recognized Minority Tribes of Nagaland and very much relevant Social Reformer movement like the ACAUT in such serious and crucial meeting to determine our Constitution Given Rights to participate in an Election to elect our leaders of our State.
K. Lun Tungnung, Convenor, Indigenous Minority Tribes Of Nagaland (IMTN).
