NWHD condemns impersonation of minister Kruse

DIMAPUR — The Naga Women Hoho Dimapur (NWHD) has condemned the alleged “impersonation” of the Minister of Horticulture and Women Resources Department, Salhoutounuo Kruse, being circulated in various social media platforms.

The women hoho in a press release stated that the deliberate attempt to malign the minister by some “unscrupulous mindsets” not only demonstrates a complete lack of moral rectitude but also exhibits a blatant disregard for the principles of honesty and integrity that should be upheld by all right thinking individuals.

“Such false impersonation and malicious propaganda sets a dangerous precedent allowing opportunistic individuals to exploit and manipulate public perception to further their own personal agendas at the expense of the public,” NWHD said.

While asserting that the minister is a beacon of light to the Naga women community as a whole, the hoho urged the authorities concerned to identify and apprehend the individuals responsible “so that they face the full weight of legal consequences for their malevolent intentions” directed not only to the minister in particular, but also the Naga women community in general.
