ACAUT demands implementation of Aug 25 public rally resolution

ACAUT has appealed to the state and central government to implement the historic 7-point resolution adopted during the mass public rally on August 25 at Dimapur.
If sincerely implemented, the state can transform into an oasis of peace, development and prosperity, ACAUT said.
ACAUT particularly appealed to the state government to institute the Nagaland Lokayukta and terminate all backdoor appointees which were done in total violation of High Court order. However, ACAUT said “in case the state government refuses to do so, it should be prepared for full-blown state-wide agitation.” Therefore, ACAUT has called upon every Naga- irrespective of clan, tribe, denomination, political affiliation, or geographical location, to be prepared to wage the moral battle, if the government failed to heed to the people’s demand. “It will require each of us to set aside our differences and stand united as one,” ACAUT added.
The collective resolve would ultimately decide which side prevails: “the sane demands of the Naga people or the selfish interest of the most corrupted Naga government in history,” ACAUT said. It also said that since the decisive battle in the ‘War Against Corruption’ is at hand, the process to cement people’s efforts to reclaim Nagaland was already underway. 
It has appealed to the present generation, particularly those living in towns and districts head quarters, to stand up for the people in the hinterland who would be counting on them.
Further, ACAUT advised the state government “not to test the patience of the people and fool around but to wisely heed to the demands of the people before the deadline expires.” At the end, the people are only demanding their constitutional right to live in dignity, it said.
Meanwhile, ACAUT has expressed sincere gratitude to all the organizations and individuals for taking part in the historic rally, as well as the full-hearted adoption of the 7-point public resolution. Being a people’s movement, ACAUT said the rally was held with the sole intention to give platform to different voices and act as a channel to facilitate the voice of the people. ACAUT also said it would always continue to welcome those who stand for Naga solution or are against corruption.
