Legislator from Nongkrem Constituency and President of the Voice of the People’s Party Ardent Miller Basaiawmoit has asserted that he has been wrongly portrayed and misrepresented, maintaining that no amount of allegations or insinuations will weaken his resolve to fight for the people and the State. In a forceful statement, he appealed to citizens to recognise the larger battle at hand and stand firm against what he described as “evil forces” attempting to distort facts and weaken public understanding of their rights.
Basaiawmoit said, “Nothing can stop him as all these allegations insinuations will not be able to reduce the fire within him to fight for the cause of the people, and the State.” He urged the public to understand that this, in his view, is a struggle between good and evil, calling on “all the right-thinking people to join us in their fight against these evil forces.”
He declared, “Hate me, call me whoever you want to call, I don’t care. As long as I follow God’s principle and doctrines. When it comes to protecting the rights of my people, defending my land which is a God-given right, preserving our culture, the love of fellow human beings.”
Emphasising that his efforts have been consistently twisted by those opposing his principles, he stated, “I know I’ve been wrongly portrayed and misrepresented by those who are against this belief and principle, who are too afraid to see that this ideology will one day become an ideological power.”
Basaiawmoit said he has been unfairly branded despite his attempts to educate people about their rights and expose what he termed hidden agendas. “When I try to correct the wrong, when I try to teach the people about their rights, when I try to uncover the hidden agendas of those vested interests people who have been exploiting and manipulating the minds of innocent all the while, I was instead branded as a holier-than-thou person, which I am not,” he said.
Reiterating his determination, Basaiawmoit stressed, “Let me tell you in a very categorical term, that nothing can stop me. All these allegations insinuations will not be able to reduce the fire within me to fight for the cause of my people, and my State.”
He added that attempts to distort narratives are not new in history, noting, “As citizens, we need to be enlightened that this is not the first time in the history of mankind where there are people or groups of people who distort facts, manufacture false narrative to mislead the people in order to protect their interest.”
Renewing his call for public support, he said, “I would therefore call upon all the right-thinking people to join us in our fight against these evil forces. Because what we are fighting today is between good vs evil.”
He concluded with a firm pledge of perseverance, stating, “I will continue to fight with full conviction till the goal is reach unless the people reject it.”
