The historic movement of the NBCC in its endeavor for clean election is a new dawn to the Nagas, bringing all the political parties into one fold of ideological integrity is liken by every sensible Nagas but in the same breath apprehension loomed large in every Naga’s mind for the fact that Nagas are extremely expert in exploiting the loopholes at every opportunity.
Retrospection shows that, since the inception of Nagaland state, it’s the Naga failing Nagas in every front has a bitter telltale that stands akin to “Dog to bone” where construction party is always closely followed by demolition party with holy bibles in their hands like a fashion dress without the slightest remorse should look for a recourse in Christianity in faith, belief and action as a true Christian. Nevertheless, I just wouldn’t like to call myself a decadent Christian but surely others would if my action failed to follow my tongue and invariably all the Nagas are keenly observing the good Samaritan team members and their action with crossed fingers, where everyone expects them control their own flock then 50% of the work is done and the rest 50% assured by all the stakeholders.
Indeed, this is purely a war on moral decadent for moral righteousness, where the warrior cannot sink their teeth on the defaulter but only make them understand the virtue of just and fair election.
More so, the organization being born out of the top Christian forum NBCC many wayward considered it as a toothless tiger and true as well for the fact that defying the set of 18 rules will neither be imprisoned nor fine or excommunicates them from the church, town village and ward etc.
Therefore, it is my humble view that there should be subordinate action groups comprising of youth volunteers in every village, town, and wards monitored and supervised by the apex body NBCC. Similarly action group may chalk out their own plan of action according to the local custom and usage which can be quite variable from place to place.
Well, within the context of the 18 point inked between political parties and NBCC on 22nd June 2017 for clean polls, there seems to be missing some vital points that I believed to be essential to make it more inclusive and stringent as shown herein;-
- It is the general knowledge that most villages frequently makes a collective decision, “to whom they should vote for” where very often polling officers become voiceless and passively allowed to cast votes for the entire village by the few selected person chosen by the village council. POINT:- “No collective decision in favor of any candidate be allowed in any level whatsoever.
- In certain constituencies there occurred time and again “COUP” system, arbitrarily dividing villages and area wise between two or more candidates that ultimately defeating the very purposed of real and clean election, ultimately setting bad precedents. POINT:- No coup system shall be allowed in any constituency.
Truly, the noble idea of the NBCC for clean election through political consensus, involving all the political parties enliven our aspiration and hopes for the ensuing election 2018 that’s knocking at our doorsteps where, every sensible Naga should ardently support for the common good cause.
Big thanks to NBCC and all political parties, we are behind you; keep it up.
