NPF Legislature Party spokesperson, Yitachu has stated that the party during its joint meeting on Wednesday resolved to fully endorse the suspension of Lok Sabha MP, Neiphiu Rio and MLA Imkong L. Imchen from the party’s primary and active membership till further orders.
The joint meeting was held with the NPF legislators holding offices and senior party functionaries of the NPF.
Yitachu said that the house also resolved to fully endorse the decision of the party’s Disciplinary Action Committee and the subsequent orders issued its president Dr Shurhozelie in serving suspension orders.
“We are of the considered opinion that the decision was taken in the best interest of the party and also to ensure the stability of the NPF-led DAN government,” Yitachu said.
The house also reaffirmed its unflinching support to the leadership of NPF president Dr Shurhozelie Liezietsu and the chief minister T.R Zeliang.
Yitachu said all the members present at the meeting also reiterated its support to the peace talks, to work out for an early and permanent settlement acceptable and honourable to all.
Issues should be raised in an appropriate forum: Peseyie
Breaking his silence over the imbroglio concerning the NPF party, Parliamentary Affairs minister, Kiyanielie Peseyie said any kind of issue needed to be raised in an appropriate forum.
In a press note, referring to the statements reportedly made by suspended NPF members, that their demand for change of leadership within the party cannot be termed or considered as anti-party activities, Peseyie said if such was the case, it should have been made “within the four walls of appropriate party forum-- CEC, or NPF parliamentary party, as and when the party makes such notifications, and not in public forum, or through the media”.
Elaborating on the way how political parties project or choose a chief minister during and after the elections, Peseyie said “when a duly elected leader is at the helm of affairs, repeated attempts to de-stabilize the party-led government and also attempts made on several occasions to divide the party set-up by organizing concentration-like camps for the dissatisfied party MLAs etc., can only be termed and considered as anti-party activity”.
However, if anyone still demands a change of guard, outside the party forum, he said the only platform was to seek for a floor test in the House. Such was the case on February 5, 2015 when all 59 legislators voted in favour of the confidence motion moved by the chief minister, he said while also referring to Supreme Court’s ruling in the SR Bommai case.
Reminding that all political parties are governed by its constitution and the governments run under the ambit of law and the Constitution of India, Peseyie said no legislator or party functionary was above the law and the constitution.
As practiced, he said “if anyone crosses the limits, show cause notices are served to them, and if replies or/clarifications are satisfactory, or apologies made for misdeeds, there are always provisions and ways and means for reconsideration”.
However, the Parliamentary Affairs minister said “if anyone openly challenges the established party system, the only option left for the party leadership is to take disciplinary action”.
He also pointed out that such actions were not to be taken to the public domain for debate and discussion in the marketplace, saying “such an action, in itself, is an anti-party activity”.
On the issue of dissidence within the NPF, which he was created by some people, the reconciliation had taken place way back in April 2015.
“But surprisingly, campaigning for change of leadership in the government and the party continued unabated, all outside the four walls of the party forum”, he added.
“…If such activities are not to be considered as anti-party activities, what action can be termed as anti-party activity?” he wondered.
Referring to the directive issued to all NPF legislators with regard to their movement, Peseyie said this was done in order to “curb unnecessary expenditure due to uncontrolled movement of ministers, advisors and parliamentary secretaries both within and outside the state, and to ensure discipline so that they do not go out of station for trivial matters”.
Refuting the suspended members’ statement, he said this directive in no way could be termed as autocratic and dictatorial.
Such practices were procedural for proper functioning of the government, Peseyie stated adding even the Governors are required to avail prior permission of the President as and when they go out of their states.
