Active concealment is considered a deliberate, conscious act of keeping a fact secret, often described as shrouding or hiding information.
'We should not mention' is not the same as 'We don't need to mention.'
Either way, to the reader, this is either a dereliction of duty by not answering a query, or it is active concealment and an attempt to hide the truth.
