N. Mhonbemo Patton
At the outset, I would like to request all the readers not to take these views personally as am not pointing it to any particular individual but am just expressing my views on certain issues that have been bothering me a lot in my heart.
Firstly, Everyday in the daily local papers in Nagaland I have been coming across immense corruptions and unfair means, innumerable Agitations, Bandhs and intimations, series of public Rallies and Strikes shouting slogan for justice to almost all the Depts. And concern political Leader portfolios but unfortunately they have never taken heed to any of the demands rather only when the situation goes bad to worst they are forced to intervene.
As for me what strike in my mind for such delay immediate remedies or responds from the so called concern Leaders or Departments i.e. after being chosen as Leaders, some of them consider themselves as they are the KING of the CHAIR because of the higher position which instantly leads them to Mr. know All, Mr. Perfect of all area, Mr. Excellence of every aspect, Mr. Self-centered etc, they never consider themselves as they are the King of Development, King of Prosperity, King of EQUALITY, King of architecture, King of Economic growth and King of nation building, King of upliftment for needy societies and communities etc may be due to their egoistic manner they could achieve only a handful solution and hardly bring any concrete solution to the desperately in need. Therefore, instead of remaining arrogant they should first Sit, Listen, Understand and Respond to the needed cry of audience.
Secondly, countless Issues that are confronting our society everyday, issues like NLTP Acts, Border issue, poor students Scholarship, Nagaland Special Development Zone (NSDZ), Tribe Recognition, Illegal Immigrants and pending salaries etc these are certain burning issues which should be taken up seriously bringing a permanent solution. But there seems to be any botheration at all from our concern Leaders could maybe, it be, because there is no profit or benefit if they give their time and effort or either that they have lack of Vision and coordination to each other. But whatever reason it maybe, it’s high time for our Leaders and bureaucrat to wake up and see a big prospective way for pleasant solution before worst will occur and ultimately all the curses and blame will be upon your shoulder in future from our younger generation.
Thirdly, our TOP Govt Officials always bluffing our public by merely blaming about the irresponsibility of the Political leaders with regard to the work on projects, schemes and files for not moving from their tables, in fact some files that are kept in their drawer takes a month or a year to process treating it like “Taboo”. So sometimes stupid person like me use to think that if Government can introduced some new policies of working system in all Depts, system like 24-hrs studying on files, 24-hrs working on files and within 24-hr to give explanation to higher authority giving remark on why/how could not be done and could accomplished the job if Government can implement such policy, quite sure that Nagaland will be the first BEST Model State in Indian in terms of Development, Economic Growth, infrastructure, accountability, integrity and advancement etc in our society.
Fourthly, Regarding the Naga Political Groups (NPGs) in terms of lakhs we Naga people are watching each and every work and Plan of Action, one need not say/let know that you are national worker but one should prove through your actions and exemplary way that you are working for the cost of Nagas than surely everybody will contribute in some ways or the other.
At present scenario what the public desire from all the NPGs is that if it can come under one umbrella for one common goal, Vision, Task and Responsibility only then 69-years of pending unfinished task of the Nagas can be settled or come to solution within a year. It’s high time instead of criticizing each other FORGIVE and FORGET all the past and come to one common table and unites together for earlier solution for our Nagas legitimacy from the hand of adversary.
Fifthly, I see some civil societies, organizations, Associations, Unions (NGO’s) initially they will take up any issues or ultimatum with a well plan strategy to Govt in order to get favor or support from the public at the same time blaming the Govt and Top Govt officials for denying public rights, share or working for self-interest but the moment they get bundle of money their Lips get zipped up and they forget all about their stand towards injustice and settle any Issues or Demands on spot no matter without knowing whether its Right or Wrong. In fact they are the main traitor. We should take examples of ticks on Dog, we are all aware that ticks never fall until unless it sucks blood satisfactorily. Likewise NGOs should set examples because you are the Mouth-piece and Peace-maker of society and public trust you fully and have confidence on you to deliver justice for those that are totally suppressed and victimized.
Sixthly, I appreciate ACAUT movement in Nagaland if at all they have committed to work according to the objectives which they have published on 12th August 2014 in a daily paper. I have come cross from all sections of people n Nagaland from Rich to Poor, Reverend to Believers, Educated to illiterate, Businessmen to Consumer, 1-star hotel to Pan shop level, Govt to NGOs and mere Public and top officials to Laborer if you ask about ACAUT from bottom of their heart they will express that ACAUT Movement is long cherish prayer which our almighty God answered today. Therefore I think our move is hour of needs, so ACAUT teams shouldn’t ever alter for any political and monetary gain and ease the exceptional common cause.
Seventhly, I have been observing our Religious Leaders in our society today, many leaders and believers they compromise on activities, programmes, pattern of worship and systematic order of service, moreover confine and concern Report on dedication of new houses and vehicles, birthday service and marriage ceremony or church Development and proudly give baptism to Bio-christians who is already Christians by birth etc. I don’t mean these are not important or we should not perform, but beyond that Church and Leaders, should ask themselves whether they have been able to involve themselves in winning souls, and how many reached/ unreach and Non-christains are converted and given Baptism till today through our Mission involvement, I think these are the top priority for the Church and Religious leaders to understand because Mission is God’s Heart, God is Mission and building is not the church but people are the church which God give us the Task of Mt28: 19-20 to involved and partake for His Mission. Secondly, I can see our churches administration system fully base on traditional, orthodox and rich men decision which leading us to Death Church today because many churches today they don’t take decision of leading by Holy spirit or godly man decision and advice because due to many reasons. Thirdly, we can see by our own nake eyes the present scenario by so called God servant doing partiality among the church believers basing on economical status.
In conclusion, I just want to quote Mt13:28-30 which says, “The servants asked the master. Do you want us to go and pull the weeds but the Master answered No because while you are pulling the weeds, you may uproot the wheat with them, let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into barn. Therefore, brethrens, Gods Judgment will be upon everyone for our deeds and actions.
