Strongly reacting to the 'clarification' by one 'relief committee' which appeared in various dailies today, the Khousabung Sub-Division Demand Committee (KSDDC) has dubbed the clarification as 'proxy' statement of the MLA of Henglep AC while questioning the legitimacy of the committee.
"Our attention has been drawn to the item that appeared in various local dailies dated May 4 regarding the 'Relief Committee clarification,' a bogus and unheard of committee, which going through by its tone and tenor is to serve the vested interests of MLA 57-Henglep AC who is also the new PHED Minister," the KSDDC said in a statement.
KSDDC asked whether the so called 'Relief Committee' is a Govt appointed Relief Committee or a political agent of the local MLA.
"Was it not true that during this very unfortunate period of natural calamity within his constituency he engaged himself in self gratification and exaltation of his Cabinet Minister-ship at Kangvai on April 30?" it asked.
The KSDDC also wondered as to why the MLA (new Minister) is still not showing up personally to the calamity-affected victims of Saichang/Chongkhozou area at this time of misfortune and sorrow if he has real and genuine concern for the people of his constituency.
KSDDC also found it distasteful that the Minister through the so called Relief Committee is questioning the fact findings report of the MHJU published in a local daily dated May 3."This only indicates that the circle MLA has nothing to offer but is trying to hide his misdeeds by means of a proxy clarification in order to bask in his new found glory ie, his newly gained Ministerial image, which is also fast losing its sheen," it said.
The KSDDC challenged the Minister to make it public and publish the relief materials/assistance he or his 'pet Relief Committee' has so far provided to the affected people date-wise since the fateful morning of April 23 .
It further appeal to the local MLA not to resort to cheap politics and ensure that the needy people of his constituency in particular Saichang and Chongkhozou areas get their relief immediately for which he has been elected.
Rejecting the "unsubstantiated clarification" the KSDDC urged all concerned not to entertain statements of fictitious and bogus committee which is set up to serve personal interest sans evidential substantiation.
