NDC would not be intimidated - Atta Mills

Professor John Evans Atta Mills, flag bearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) on Saturday said that members of party would not allow themselves to be intimidated, victimised and prosecuted by the government.

Professor Mill said there could not be "one law for the people in government and another for those outside."

He was speaking at a symposium organised by the Tertiary Educational Institution Network (TEIN) of the NDC at the University of Cape Coast as part of his ten-day familiarisation tour of the Central Region.

He was not happy with the government plans to victimise and prosecute NDC members to dismantle the party and pointed out that every efforts would be mobilised to resist that attempt.

The NDC flag bearer told the students that as future leaders they must come out from their shelves, be bold to point out wrongs and injustices in the society, and advised them to always stand for the truth.

The minority leader in Parliament, Mr Alban Bagbin expressed concern about the way some sections of the media had become the mouthpiece of the government against the minority.

He said such media houses were doing a lot of damages, which could undermine the growth of the young democracy in the country.

The National Chairman of the NDC, Dr. Obed Asamoah who chaired the occasion urged the government to provide subsidies that would alleviate the sufferings of Ghanaians.
