Subterfuge and money cannot buy the law
Kohima, 19th October, 2017
The Order of the Election Commission of India dated October 17, 2017, directing the Naga People’s Front to settle the internal imbroglio through a General Convention like it was done in April 2015, has shattered to smithereens the fantastic claim of the imposters that Neiphiu Rio is the President of the NPF.
The very fact that the ECI did not take cognizance of the so-called General Convention of September 20, 2017 at Dimapur by these imposters has vindicated the stance of the NPF that the September 20 Get-together of hypocrites and paid non-locals was unauthorized, unconstitutional and illegal.
Indeed, the Order of the ECI is in itself proof enough that the imposters are not legally competent to call for a General Convention of the NPF party, or else the ECI would have deemed the September 20 Get-together as valid and legitimate since it was claimed that more than thirty thousand people attended the function.
However, what these claimants did not consider was that there are only a little above nine thousand people enrolled as Active Members of the NPF, and herding together tens of thousands of people from neighbouring State and localities through inducements, does not amount to anything since only enrolled members of the party have a say in the affairs of the party.
As has been the consistent stand of the NPF party, we shall continue to adhere to the Constitution of the party and meticulously follow the directions of the Election Commission of India.
We do not have an iota of doubt the law shall prevail. And like the instant case, the issue of the Whip, which is now in the Court of law, shall also be decided sooner or later and our stand shall be justified.
The erring MLAs would do well to remember that their days are numbered, and the sooner they mend their ways the better it would be for them.
It is yet to be seen what chicanery the charlatans would come up with to deceive the people, but it has been made very clear that subterfuge, power and money cannot purchase legality. And no amount of deception can fool the law.
