Expressing serious concern over the alleged “rampant and unabated collection of money” by various Naga political groups (NPGs) in Dimapur, the Public Action Committee (PAC) Dimapur Thursday said it “strongly” condemned such collections when business was hampered badly by pandemic and lockdown.
The Public Action Committee through its media cell stated that it was not sensible to burden business people at a time when they were “still finding it hard to pick up the normal tempo”.
Further, PAC expressed shock that various NPGs were collecting money in the name of ‘Christmas’, which it asserted was “totally against Christian principles.”
PAC has, therefore, appealed the Naga political groups to reign on their cadres “not to abuse and blaspheme God that will bring wrath on our people.”
The committee reminded NPGs that collecting of money in the process of peace talks was “totally unreasonable”. It said they should instead be showing seriousness by not angering and displeasing the business fraternity in particular and public in general.
Meanwhile, the committee has also appealed the police to be more vigilant as people from other districts were in Dimapur for Christmas shopping.
Public Action Committee also said it has received complaints of bag snatchers in and around Dimapur, which needed to be contained with sincerity.
