Changhma Times News | Dated: 1st July 2025
Kamalanagar, July 1 — The Zoram People’s Movement (ZPM) under the Chakma Autonomous District Council (CADC) has firmly rebutted recent allegations made by the Joint NGO Chawngte, which accused the party of interfering in the recruitment process under the Samagra Shiksha scheme conducted at Kamalanagar.
In an official press release issued today, the ZPM CADC categorically denied any involvement or interference in the recruitment process. The allegations—claiming that ZPM leaders exerted political pressure and submitted recommendation lists to the interview board—were dismissed as “baseless, misleading, and grossly damaging” to the party’s reputation.
“At no point has the party or any of its members interfered with, influenced, or submitted any form of recommendation during the recruitment process,” the statement read.
Emphasizing its long-standing commitment to transparency, fairness, and accountability, ZPM CADC expressed deep disappointment over what it sees as an attempt to mislead the public and tarnish the party’s clean image.
The statement also highlighted that the recruitment was an administrative matter under the purview of competent authorities and not subject to political intervention.
“Any attempt to politicize this issue is not only irresponsible but also deeply harmful to the democratic fabric and public trust,” ZPM CADC asserted.
In a strong message, the party has challenged any individual or organization to present conclusive evidence in support of the allegations. The ZPM assured that if credible proof is provided, they would support rightful action. However, in the absence of such evidence, the party will pursue appropriate legal measures against those attempting to malign its image through false accusations.
Finally, ZPM CADC called upon all civil society groups and individuals to act with responsibility and avoid dragging political entities into unfounded controversies.
“ZPM CADC remains unwavering in its dedication to clean governance and public service, and urges all to uphold the spirit of truth and democratic integrity,” the press release concluded.
