DIMAPUR, JANUARY 10 (MExN): NPF legislators from Kohima on Thursday asserted that the Naga public deserves to know as to who and on what authority the government, right after their inception changed the sub-allocation of the various communitized departments, which was approved by the High Level Committee.
Khriehu Liezietsu, MLA of 10th Northern Angami A/C and Keneizhakho Nakhro, MLA of 8th Western Angami A/C in a joint press statement said the attitude of the present government to randomly change things according to their whims and fancy is a dangerous precedent.
It also alleged that the Rural Development department, in an attempt to save their political masters, is squirming to find a safe passage out of it by throwing words like ‘guidelines’ ‘criteria’ et al. It pointed out that the department themselves are not performing as per central ministry’s laid down guidelines.
On the issue of the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill 2016, the MLAs lamented that when the whole of Northeast is rising on the occasion, opposing the Bill, the PDA cabinet meekly urges the Centre to ‘re-examine and review.’
