NPF condemns impersonation of its President
Kohima, September 6, 2017:
The Naga People’s Front, Central Headquarters, is shocked to read in the media the sheer audacity of former Nagaland Chief Minister and Lok Sabha MP Neiphiu Rio impersonating the President of NPF Dr Shurhozelie Liezietsu and attending the 2nd Conclave of the North East Democratic Alliance at the national capital yesterday.
The shameless and unmitigated insolence of the former Chief Minister in projecting himself as a person he is not at the national level, and the gall and temerity he has to impersonate the President of the NPF, is obnoxious, revolting and incredible.
After demitting the office of the Chief Minister in 2014, the former Chief Minister appears to have been suffering from an endless bout of delirium replete with hallucination with a large dose of fantasy added regularly.
He also seems to have amnesia because if he can remember his experience of 2015, Noke Wangnao would have been the President of the NPF if majority of legislators of the party were competent enough to appoint the President of the political party they belong to; and Kaito Aye would have been the Chief Minister with Kuzholuzo Nienu as the Chief Whip of the NPF if majority of the legislators had the authority to elect the Whip of the political party they belong to!
Rio would do well to remember that NPF party is a responsible political party duly registered with the Election Commission of India and functions according to laid down Constitutional norms, and not at one’s whims and fancies. The Office Bearers of the party, including the President, are appointed according to the provisions of the Constitution of the Party.
And as far as the Party and the ECI are concerned, the President of the Naga People’s Front is Dr Shurhozelie Liezietsu, and not a charlatan unable to decide whether he is of the Democratic Progress Party or would like to cling on to the political party from which he has been suspended.
The unconstitutional Government headed by TR Zeliang is on borrowed time and surviving through the mercy and largesse of the BJP Government at the Centre; but the Courts of Law shall not be so generous with it because of the flagrant violations of rules and procedures the Speaker and the Governor resorted to in their hurry to install the TR Zeliang Government.
The unholy duo of TR Zeliang and Rio, having failed to convince the legislators supporting them to merge with the BJP, may not find it very comfortable to convince the BJP High Command that everything is honky dory, and the bigger charade they have to pull off – convincing the Courts that they can fool everyone all the time – lies ahead of them in the weeks to come.
