NDPP unit alleges attack on party functionary

Dimapur, March 15 (EMN): A unit of the Nationalist Democratic Progressive Party (NDPP) has denounced what it alleged was an attack on one of the party’s functionaries at 3-Dimapur-III assembly constituency by supporters of the Naga People’s Front (NPF) in stated constituency, from Keyato village, at Dhansiripar village on March 13. The NDPP’s minority cell issued a press release alleging that the vehicle of Jeemy Jigdung, vice president of the unit in the constituency, was vandalised and that he was understood to have been subjected to “verbal abuse” by the NPF supporters. The NDPP unit queried: “Are we not human being? And don’t we have the right to choose the leader of our choice? And why are we(minority tribes) always being targeted?” Expressing resentment at the ‘treatment,’ the organisation’s unit has appealed to the law-enforcing agencies to take appropriate action to ‘book’ the culprits.
