RMPC supports Congress in Mizoram

AIZAWL, March 31 : Reformed Mizoram Peoples’ Conference (RMPC), a breakaway group of Mizoram Peoples’ Conference, today decided to switch support from the Mizo National Front to the ruling Congress.

“We believe in the leadership of the Congress. We want great leaders like Manmohan Singh, Sonia Gandhi, Pranab Mukherjee, P Chidambaram and Rahul Gandhi to rule the country,” a statement of the RMPC, led by former MLA Dr J V Hluna, said.

The RMPC, floated just ahead of the State Assembly polls, held on December 2 last year, had supported the then ruling MNF.

The U-turn came after the MNF formed an electoral alliance with the MPC, led by former Chief Minister Brig (Rtd) T Sailo.

The elections to the lone seat of Lok Sabha in Mizoram, slated for April 16, is likely to see a triangular fight. Three candidates - former minister C L Ruala of the Congress, former MP Dr H Lallungmuana of the MNF-MPC alliance and failed MP candidate Rualpawla of Israel National Front have filed their nomination papers. The last date for the filing of nomination papers is March 30.

UNDSP not to contest polls

Dimapur, March 28 (MExN): The United Naga Democratic Socialist Party will not be contesting in the forthcoming parliamentary and state by-elections. However, necessary decision to support other parties during the elections would be taken, the UNDSP stated in a note today.
The party met on March 28 in Chumukedima where lengthy deliberations were had whether or not the UNDSP would contest. There were suggestions that the party’s advisor, TA Ngullie, a former minister, should contest. Following a lengthy deliberation, the UNDSP decided not to contest in either of the polls. However, the UNDSP decided, that the ‘political situation’ in the state would be ‘assessed’ and a decision taken to support other ‘like-minded’ parties, the UNDSP said.
On other matters, the UNDSP has noted with concern the reoccurrence of bloodshed between the Naga factional workers even while the people continue to pray and appeal for peace and cessation of all forms of violence. The UNDSP has appealed to the armed groups to heed to the cry of the people.
The party also took note of the recent answer-script swapping scandal in the Nagaland Public Service Commission. Extending support to the Naga Students’ Federation’s fight for justice, the party demanded appropriate steps to book the officials involved in the scam.
The party further condemned the threats being issued by “some section of the people” to officials and investigating personnel probing mismanagement in the department of school education.  These elements are showing that they are only encouraging corruption in the society, the UNDSP said. The party has appealed to the “concerned section of the people” to desist from “such unlawful activities”. 

DMC ‘in solidarity’observes Earth Hour

Dimapur, March 28 (MExN): Despite the slight drizzle, a small but spirited crowd gathered at City Tower at the programme called by the Dimapur Municipal Council (DMC) to show solidarity with the world, to mark the observance of Earth Hour on Saturday, March 28 at 6:00 pm.
It was attended by Khekaho Assumi, DMC chairperson, Savi Legiesie, Dimapur Naga council President and a host of municipal councilors.
The DMC chairperson in his address called upon everyone gathered to switch off their lights from 8:30 to 9:30 pm at their respective homes when they go back home after the programme. He dwelt on how such a small gesture would have far reaching consequences. He said that power saved by switching off lights worldwide for one hour would save enough energy to provide India with power for six months. He said that they (DMC) had requested the power department to shut down power at the said time but they (power department) were of the opinion that it would not be symbolic of the occasion if they did so. And that they wanted the citizens to do so at their own volition.
The programme lasted for nearly one and a half hour and included performances from Moanungsang -the first Naga Idol, and a number of other Naga Idol contestants from Dimapur.
