NPF Presidential Address : 25th July 2017
Kohima, 25th July, 2017
PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS
By Mr. Huskha Yepthomi,
Working President,Naga People’s Front
on 25th July 2017.
Mr. Huskha Yepthomi, Working President, in his presidential address, on behalf of the President,to the Central Executive Council (CEC) members during the Emergency CEC meeting of the Naga People’s Front (NPF) on July 25, 2017, lamented that Nagas have elected unprincipled people as their Representativeswho could not remain faithful to the Party at this juncture.
He expressed his anguish on the habitual visit of Kaziranga by the Naga MLAs whenever any disagreement emerges among themselves which is an unbecoming for matured leaders.
This is the third time that Naga MLAs tried to solve their internal problems at Kaziranga and, therefore, after 2018 general election, the government of Nagaland should construct a guest house at Kaziranga, he mused. He expressed his disgust that the Naga MLAs were huddled into three buses and despatched to the one of the infamous Kaziranga resorts after pick-and-choose dinner organised by Mr. T.R.Zeliang in his residence at Dimapur, is a disgrace to these disgruntled leaders.
On their return to Nagaland, en route to Kohima, the public welcomed them with slogans and insults along the road, which was a disgrace for a leader. With what kind of face they shall go to church and other political platforms, he asked.
Mr. T.R.Zeliang was running the government smoothly when public uprising compelled Mr. T.R.Zeliang to step down from the Chief Ministership, a consequence of conducting ULB election in February where two innocent lives were lost.
The Joint Inquiry Commission set up in the aftermath of the incidents is yet to submit its report, and therefore, Mr. T.R.Zeliang should not be the Chef Minister till the report is submitted and action taken therein. Dr. Shürhozelie Liezietsu has announced that Nagaland Municipal Act shall be rewritten, however, even before the matter has been initiated, Mr. T.R.Zeliang has taken over the Chief Ministership through backdoor.
It is an insult to the people of Nagaland. Now, the MLAs do not regard such important issues. All these ugly things took place under the patronage of the Governor of Nagaland, Mr. P.B.Acharya, Huskha said.
He reminded the members that suspension and expulsion of some MLAs from NPF Party was the decision taken by the Party on the recommendation of the Disciplinary Action Committee (DAC) in the interest of the Party and called upon all the \party men and women to remain calm.
