      We can’t continue to live in the dark ages

      Nepotism – the executioner of bright deserving minds.

      Editor,

      No word is enough and no amount of condemnation can be spoken unless the perpetrators of the recent heinous act of murder of an innocent labourer are caught and brought to trial.

      As a concerned citizen who travels often outside the State it is really becoming embarrassing to name the State and place I come from, and this is obviously faced by those who stay and study outside this godforsaken State where avenues are limited.

      Such acts of violence are sometimes very perplexing and I cannot understand the joy that such rascals get from tormenting families. So all this statement that we often hear in public gatherings that we are “Ka Ri Tip Briew Tip Blei” is becoming more like a sham rather than a reflection of the ground reality just like those who misuse every issue in the name of the “Jaitbynriew”.

      Justice should be brought to families of injustice be it a tribal or non-tribal. Perhaps the State government should read the Constitution once again to protect the life and liberty of a citizen. What is shocking is the silence of political parties, save for BJP minister Alexander L. Hek. We cannot continue to live in the dark ages.

      Dominic S. Wankhar
