OPEN LETTER TO THE HONB’LE CHIEF MINISTERS, NEI

Honb’le Chief Ministers,

Shri Okram Ibobi Singh, CM Manipur
Shri Lal Thanhawla, CM Mizoram
Shri Tarun Kumar Gogoi, CM Assam
Shri Dr. Mukul Sangma, CM Meghalaya
Shri Manik Sarkar, CM Tripura
Shri Dorjee Khandu, CM Arunachal Pradesh
Shri Neiphiu Rio, CM Nagaland

Sirs,

New Year greetings to you all.

At the every outset, I would like to appraise you all that “It’s time to speak up and put a stop to discrimination against the Northeastern community in the metropolitan cities in our own country”.


We, the northeast people living in the metropolitan cities always face racial discrimination in one way or the other. NE people are always the victim wherever we are. During the time when many Indians were racially discriminated and hurt, top Indians leaders were very active. But when racial discrimination occurs within the country, they remain silent and keep watching the scene. This is one of the saddest thing in a democratic country like India.

Since the last few months, the police in the capital city is becoming a little bit friendly and helpful to our grievances. It happens only when the higher authority gets involve. As long as we could not bring the cases to the higher authorities, things remain the same.

Therefore, my appeal the the honb’le chief ministers is, whenever these kind of incidents happen in any cities or regions, please show your concern and care for your people. Please inquire the matter with the victims as well as the concern police station/departments remembering that your voice is representing a millions of NE people.

It is highly appreciated that the most recent incident that happened in Munirka this January 2011, i was told that the Chief Minister of Nagaland personally talked to the victim and inquired about the development of the case to the concern police station. I personally talked to the victims and come to know how comforted they were by hearing the voice of Shri Neiphiu Rio. I also learnt that due to the BIG voices, the concern police department were also under pressure to exert their duties to the fullest.

The last but not the least, Please Raise Your Voice for your people.

Sincerely yours
