Dimapur, Sep.2 (EMN): Advisor for School Education, KT Sukhalu, today said that only removing nameplates in cars of the ministers will not mean shunning the VIP culture and insisted on changing attitude to bring about real change in the society.
Speaking at the felicitation programme for meritorious Muslim students organised by Muslim Council Dimapur (MCD) at Christian Higher Secondary School on September 2, Sukhalu said the present PDA government had advocated doing away with the VIP culture after it formed the government in the state earlier this year.
Sukhalu advocated that one should not demand respect from others but earn them through one’s attitude and service to its people. Sukhalu further noted that he entered into politics with an aim to do something good for the society which was to provide good education to students as they are the future of the society.
“Don’t want everything in life, but be wise enough to differentiate between what is good and what is bad for your life,” Sukhalu exhorted the students.
Advising the students on the menace of social media, he urged the students to give more time to books than smartphones. Mentioning that two youth from Assam were lynched on June 8 in Karbi Anglong due to the misuse of social media, the advisor added that unverified news about NRC has been doing rounds in social media which is misleading the people.
President of Dimapur District Chamber of Commerce & Industry (DCCI), Akashe Zhimomi, mentioned about the issue of ILP in Nagaland and made it clear that he is not against Muslims in Dimapur but those illegal immigrants from Bangladesh. He urged the MCD to discourage its people from doing anti-social activities.
“If they do something that is anti-social, your image too will be tarnished,” he said. Lauding the commendable job of MCD, he called upon them to join hands together to wipe out illegal immigrants from Dimapur.
MCD working president A Rahman, in his vote of thanks, said MCD share the same feelings as Nagas do. He added that MCD has been living together with the Nagas for many years and that they are always ready to do whatever it takes to make a better society.
Rahman stated that MCD was constituted in the year 2000 and the first felicitation programme was also held in the same year. He said only six students could secure 60% in the first year and added that the number has grown to more than 50 students in the recent years.
