The recent snubbing of the wrong policies of the Rio’s government in relation to the ambitious and unattainable steps to give token post of 10 EAC in the name of Backward, Weaker and least representative in government services has unmasked the hypocrisy and short sightedness of the present government to create enmity and distrust amongst the people of Nagaland.
The so called Special Recruitment Drive (SRD) was bound to be a failure from the very start as it was not intended to give employment in the real sense but only a token to please certain section of society like many of their past and present policies just for instant gratification without any in-depth analysis and studies of the real needs of the people of Nagaland.
The justification given for such drive-SRD-was base on giving representation to the Least represented Tribes but the irony lies in the fact of the CM own speech at Kisama on 22/09/2011, where he himself admitted that one particular tribe officers in both NCS -17 and NPS-25 are well represented but still falls under the Backward tribe category.
If the yard stick of least and backward tag was applied in the True sense and without any Malice intended and any hidden agenda then the Kuki and Kachari tribe deserved to be among the top because as of now and for a very long time we are neither or as good as non-presented in NCS, NPS or other services of the State. If such was the Yardstick of Weaker and least represented then why are the Kuki and Kachari omitted from the SRD scheme. The last time a Kuki tribe got an EAC post was in 1989-22 years back, NPS in 1995. Whereas from the time of formation of Nagaland Statehood in 1963-not a single Kachari got either EAC or NPS post.
Fact of the matter is that both Kuki & Kachari Tribe are Indigenous recognized tribe of Nagaland entitle for any post and rights enjoyed by our others Naga brothers, with whom both this tribe had shared the sorrow, Pain, hardship and contributed equally like in the development and establishment of our scared state of Nagaland.
To add to the already pitiable and discriminated situation of both Kuki and Kachari Tribe in Government Services, we do not have any Voice or representative in the Assembly to make plea for our status and rights and Policies are taken and made in adverse manners detrimental to the progress and survival of both Kuki and Kachari community within our own state of Nagaland.
The echoes and branding himself as the champion and guardian of the Minority and Weaker section of our community has proven beyond doubt of the present Chief Minister or his so called Advisors hypocrisy and lip-service in the manner he had handled and justified the SRD scheme.
The Bold and the Courageous move by our Eastern Nagaland brothers in turning down the EAC post under the SRD scheme. The agitation lead by the Ao, Lotha and Angami Students against the discriminatory and malice policies of the Rio’s Government should be a reminder and a wake-up call to him and his Government that “ALL IS NOT WELL” in our State of Nagaland.
The setting up of a committee headed by our present and the most if not the only respectable officer Mrs. Banuo Jamir-IAS Commissioner of Nagaland, is nothing but to deflect the main issue and cover for his wrong doing either taken by himself or with the malice intended and Ill- advised from his Colleagues or from his so called able group of Experts and Intelligent Officers on Deputation from outside Nagaland.
The present Nagaland has never witnessed like before the discrepancies and divides between the Have and the Have Not, Domination of Govt. Department by one Community as HOD & Plump Post, Pitiable Road conditions both in Villages and Towns, development & Progress of Individuals only but not the State, rampant Corruption in terms of percentage wise, amassment of naked Wealth by Individuals, Setting up of Dead-Committee for Investigations, Lawlessness and Insecurity all over Nagaland.
It is our humble submission as a Citizen of Nagaland to the Honorable Chief Minister Mr. Rio that if he truly claims to be a Champion of Weaker and Least represented section of our Society, he should sincerely look into the matter very closely devoid of discriminatory and Ill-advised from his colleagues and the so called experts. He should realize that he is the Chief Minister of all Tribe and Community in Nagaland even though he might belong to a particular Tribe. He should be above all this Petty Politics and Advises who had only been leading him in tarnishing his image and reputation in his approach of Governance of our State.
In the end Nagaland should not be Practically and Totally be turn into a “Take my Son” State as the disease exist right now in every aspect of Developmental works.. The Mantra for Success that unfortunately prevails in Nagaland right now is to have a Family either as Politicians or Bureaucracy relegating Honesty, Hardwork, Truth and Ability in the backbench.
