Tribe and district based entities need to stop the hypocritic behaviour of complaining and serving ultimatums against particular government departments only when the MLA assigned to it or the HoD does not happen to be from their tribe or regional organization like the CNTC, ENPO and the Tenyimia communities. It is in the interest of the state and the people to let our elected representative irrespective of whether they are in the government or opposition and the opposing political party organisations to convey our grievances or for that matter serve ‘deadlines and warnings’ related to matters of governance that are lacking or deemed partial in our districts and regions.
Our tribes should not act the protagonist or at least enter last. For one of the leading causes of tribalism amongst nagas in the state of nagaland is caused by the vile habit of confronting elected representatives and government employees from other tribes and regions but never our own in matters of development and governance that is not to our liking.
