Haflong, December 9, 2011- The members of NGOs, Gaon Buras and Mouzaders of Dima Hasao District staged Sit-in- Demonstration in front of the Sub-Divisional Officer (Civil) at Maibang on 5 Decmber,2011(Monday), demanding immediate release of the former Chief Executive Member , Dima Hasao Autonomous Council Sri Mohet Hojai, saying the government was doing injustice to him and urged the government to release their leader Hojai immediately other wise they would be compelled to continue their agitation for the release of Mohet Hojai. They also demanded the withdrawal of NIA cases against Sri Hojai.
Later they submitted a
memorandum to the Chief Minister of Assam through the Sub-Divisional Officer
(Civil) at Maibang Sri M. Nath that stated that Sri Mohet Hojai Ex. Chief
Executive Member (CEM) of North Cachar Hills Autonomous Council (NCHAC) was
elected twice as Member of Autonomous Council (MAC) from 11- Kalachand
Autonomous Council constituency in 1996 and 2007 respectively. During his
tenure as Executive Member and Chief Executive Member of North Cachar Hills
Autonomous Council (NCHAC), he had done commendable job for the welfare of the
people of Dima Hasao district. But, after his arrest, they were facing untold
difficulties and development works have come to a grinding halt because of the
long detention of Mohet Hojai since 04-06-2009 under the NIA Case No.01/09 and
NIA Case No.02/09.
They, further, stated
that in view of the process of peace talks with Dima Halam Daogah
(Joel)/DHD(J), the State government of Assam as well as government of India
including investigation agency did not oppose the bail petitioners of Mr. Joel
Gorlosa, Chairman, DHD (J) and Mr. Niranjan Hojai C-in-C DHD (J) as a result of
which they were granted .bail by the Gauhati High Court for a period of 4
(four) months on 12th August 2011 against the NIA Case No.01/09 and NIA case
No.02/09. But, it is regret to mention here that Mr. Mohet Hojai, Ex. CEM,
NCHAC and other persons who have been made out accused against the same case of
NIA case No. 01/09 and No.02/09 were still languishing in jail since 04-06-09
and Mr. Mohet Hojai, infact, without facing any heinous charge in connection
with the humanity but unfortunately, he has not been allowed to avail the
relief on bail which amount to violation of Article 21 of the Constitution of
India.They,therefore, request to consider as a special case to allow Mr. Mohet
Hojai to go on bail by taking necessary
steps not to oppose the bail petition as has been done in case of DHD (J)
leaders so as to secure the equality of status and opportunity as provided
under Article - 14 of the constitution of India.
