Mr Martin Narayan Majaw, former President of the PDIC, has quit the party. In a press statement issued here he said that he along with some of his followers have decided to sever links with the party.
The Democratic Hills Movement is holding its first convention at the Durbar Hall Mawkhar on Sept 8. According to a press release issued on its behalf, the idea of the new Party was conceived at a meeting of 25 youths on July 16 last. The DHM symbolizes the “frustration and disillusionment of the younger generations with the present leaders who have failed to realize the noblest aspirations of the tribal’s.”
It denounces the present political leadership of the State for, what it calls, their mad lust for power and wealth, besides furthering the interests of non-tribal and foreign interest.
