Imphal, June 07, 2014:
Clarifying on the reported appointment of MLA Th Shyamkumar as the President of Manipur Pradesh Trinamool Congress (mptc), MLA Kh Joykisan maintained that the report is baseless.
Claiming that he is the president of MPTC, Joykisan pledged to work democratically and in a systematic manner in order to strengthen the party.
Speaking to reporters at his Khoyathong residence today, Joykisan remarked that the report which claimed about Shyamkumar forming a new executive body was rather surprising.
He went on to assert that members of the new executive committee allegedly constituted by Shyamkumar are present in his (Joykisan) camp.
Documents about appointment of the party president and other functionaries have been sent to the party's Central leaders and a grand convention would be organised soon in order to strengthen the party.
Th Biswajit, Vice President, MPTC who was also present at the press meet, stated that reports of AITC spokesperson, Derek O'Brien, sending a fax message and appointing MLA Shyamkumar as the party's president is unauthentic for Derek O'Brien is not even in-charge of the North East States.
Th Shyamkumar's claim that P Premananda has been appointed Youth president is baseless.
The party's youth president is Ngachonmi Ramshang , Bishwajit said.
Both Md Abdul Kadir and Ngachonmi Ramshang who have been reportedly appointed vice president and Youth president of the party were present at the press meet and they contended that they were not given any information by MLA Th Shyamkumar nor their consent was sought before they were appointed to their respective posts.
