Tamenglong, September 22 2021:
The Tamenglong Concerned People's Forum (TCPF) has slammed the Joint Tribes Council (JTC) for defending the Chief Minister's visit to Tamenglong district as not related to 'Go to Hills 2.0' .
A release issued by TCPF alleged that the leaders of the JTC have unabashedly claimed to defend the rights of the people, after having sold the rights of the people whom they claim to represent.
"The District Administration too has been harping the same tune assuring that the CM's visit is not related to 'Go to Hills', hoodwinking the public.
Now, it is clear for the people to see that the well intentioned visit as defended by the JTC has been easily flipped to become 'Go to Hills', against which all other hill districts have been protesting in solidarity", it added.
It also mentioned that the CSO leaders should work for the welfare of the people and should be connected to the pulse of the people while adding that allowing 'Go to Hills' in Tamenglong district should be condemned by all right thinking citizens of Tamenglong.
TCPF stated the forum is not against any individuals, political parties or organisations.
However, it will stand up against any injustice, denial of rights and entitlements to people, meted out by any individual or organisation.
The forum further expressed its reservations against the practice of 'Tuluai Puanmei- carrying a person on a palanquin" and stated that the mentality of servitude and subservience has made it easier for leaders with vested interest to exploit and manipulate the people.
