CPIM general secretary Prakash Karat says that his party would raise the multi crore scam in NC Hills of Assam in parliament. Addressing a press conference in Guwahati on Monday, Karat said siphonning off money meant for poor people is a grave and an unpardonable crime and that the guilty persons deserve punishment. Karat along with top party leaders held a brainstorming meet to formulate strategy for the upcoming assembly polls in Assam.

My father often narrated to me that the first Council office and the entire budget of Mizo District Council, at the outset, was run with funds borrowed from Mr. Pasung (or Pachhunga), known to be the richest man in the area in those days. Mr. Pasung was a Hmar.
Lusei speaking group in Mizo District, later declared Union Territory and now a State, with arriere pensee, gradually iconised Lusei dialect as Mizo, deftly utilizing the council machinery as tool for Lusei propagation – and, today, Lusei is synonymous to Mizo. As you dawdle along the streets and bazaar in Aizawl, you would often stumble upon an ordinary Hmar young generation who is ready to pounce on you the moment you...

The denigration of the parliamentary democracy by almost all the political parties is a matter of grave concern for all of us. The criminals and corrupt people have thronged the political parties; and money and muscle power have been reigning everywhere. Integrity is being replaced with corruptibility. The looting of the public exchequer has become the sole objective of joining a political party. Politics turns worse and ugly at the time of elections. The unscrupulous politicians make the best use of the gullibility of the vast majority of the rural and semi-urban voters and indifference of the educated, urban- middle- class citizens.
To make the people aware of their political rights...
