The truth, in the matter, however, is that the CAG in this case, was none other than the brother of C-in-C of NSCN (IM) with whom Mr. Jamir fought tooth and nail, If the Taxes or share of revenue forgone was such astronomical figures, why the Govt. in succeeding period has not reported even 0.01% in revenue of the State for the alleged astronomical figures to corroborate the claim, post the change in Govt. in Nagaland during 2003. | ||
