Various frontal organizations of Zeliangrong took out a protest rally carrying the body of Tanthuingai Kamei, secy. of ZSU, Manipur who was shot dead in the night of August 16.
The rally was taken out in and around Noney Bazar and later a meeting was held.
The protesters demanded to produce the killers on or before Aug 25. The United Naga Council (UNC) condemns the “cold blooded killing” of Chunthuigai Kamei, general secretary of the Zeliangrong Students’ Union, Manipur (ZSUM) and Mr Jenao Golmei of NSCN -IM by cadres of the NSCN-K Zeliangrong Region the evening of August 16 at Nungkao (Luangkao) village under Tamenglong district.
The UNC said at this time of peace and reconciliation among Naga brethren, the August 16 killings have come as a rude shock to the Naga people.
“Apart from obliterating the two precious lives, the cruel action has greatly eroded the general goodwill and mutual trust that is slowly finding space in our society. The civil society, which upholds the unity and oneness of society is greatly disturbed by the assassination of Mr. Chunthuigai who has a proven record of selfless sacrifice and contribution to the community as a student leader. His sudden departure has created an emptiness that will not be filled up .

Why one joins a political party

In the past when Dr. Manmohon Singh was asked a question some time before he became the Prime Minister whether he was a politician his reply was I have been in the Congress party. Having joined Congress party I consider myself a politician. If one likes to act like a politician and think like a politician one must imbibe the principles and philosophies of a recognised political party. Principles and philosophies of the political party are not plaything. Once you have joined a political party you must take the policies and programmes of the party like a religious sermon against which one cannot go. One cannot change political party like a chameleon colour. If you are in BJP the ideals of the party should remain stuck in your brain. Likewise a Communist worker cannot think like a fanatic. On the contrary there are lots of persons in Manipur who have attained name, fame and wealth after joining Congress party yet on the street and public place they behave like anti-Congress man speaking only the wrongs done by the party not the better side the party has done. Such persons are dangerous because they always tend to be closer to the leadership to get more and more benefits. They are sycophants in the true sense of the terms. They appreciate the works done by the leader in front of them. The moment they turn back they behave differently. When the chattering class of people ridicule the state leadership they join the bandwagon of chattering class without realising who put them in the status they are. It is time the leadership of the state carries out a survey to understand whether the deserving persons are getting benefits. Or whether the benefits have landed in the wrong hands. Like the banyan tree Congress party has grown big. Century old party, the leaders of which fought against the mighty British has existed as a unifying force. The deep rooted party, which has spread its root to every nook and corner of the country, has strengthened the unity and integrity of the country. One India character remains threatened minus the unifying force. Communal forces are out to disturb the peace and tranquillity. The need of the hour is to take steps to crush the forces detrimental to the peaceful coexistence of all. Whatever happening in Assam is unfortunate more so repetition of communal tinged incidents that have occurred in the South. All out efforts should be made to contain the situation that has erupted in Karnataka. There had been massive exodus of NE people from Karnataka. Though the Karnataka Government claims that there is no threat to the NE people in the state. Rumours are doing the round which has instigated the NE people to leave the state. Chattering class of people is finding time to create rumour. All the political parties should remain alert to annihilate rumours and also to win the confidence of the masses. Therefore the prime duty of the Government is to keep all people busy to keep at bay the rumour mongers. That includes politicians, who behave differently according to different occasions.
