Kohima:The ruling Naga-land Peoples Front led by Dr. Shurhozelie has given a ‘final call’ to the legislators, party men and women particularly, who are cam-ping at ‘Sovima Rebel Camp’ to come and join ‘main-stream’ immediately before the ‘door is closed’.
In a press statement issued by the press and media cell of the NPF alleged that with all available machineries and manu-factured baseless propa-ganda the rebels are trying every means to dislodge the duly elected government and take over the legal party through backdoor.
‘Bereft of reasonability and lack of procedural steps that required running Government, the Dissident or Rebel ring leaders are forcibly confining the legislators in their rebel camps restricting other upcoming Legislators from expressing their will in the interest of their electorates which is unfortunate for democratically elected representatives without their will,’ it said. The party is constrained to expose to the general mass of the state populace to reason and judge themselves as to who are ‘arrogantly misleading’ the upcoming legislators and party men and women with their cheap and unfounded propaganda to grab power, it said.
The statement also said Neiphiu Rio, the former chief minister and MP Lok-Sabha, Khekiho Zhimomi, MP Rajya-Sabha, G. Kaito Aye an ambitious Chief Ministerial candidate of rebel group and Zhalieo Rio are matrimonial family members, who are all out working to dislodge the Government for their family rule.’
The statement said Imkong L. Imchen and Khekiho Zhimomi, Dr. Benjongliba all former Ministers have their cases pending behind for their involvement in the different cases. Khekiho’s tenure as MP Rajya sabha is ending.
Noke Konyak, who refuses to lead the party when given chances during power transition in may 2014 is trying to act different as a puppet unrecognized party president spewing political venoms to central leaders. C. M. Chang, Kuzholuzo Nienu, Pangnyu Phom, Merentoshi Jamir, Zhalieo Rio , Pukhayi Sumi, Imkong L. Imchen, Dr. Benjungliba are promised of cabinet berth under their mission impossible ministry.’
According to the statement ‘The Honorable Governor has been officially approached by the Cabinet decision for summoning of Special Session for Confidence Motion, which the rebel leaders are refusing to face for fear of being defeated in the floor of the House is strong indication of defeatist, who still makes un-necessary loud noise.’ It added that there can be no other way to resolve this impasse outside the floor of House, no matter how much the rebel leaders try to manufacture all concocted lies to keep their flock together will end up either disqualifying themselves or vote in favour of party to save their own seat and work for their respective constituencies, it said.
The statement said that the rebel group pointing their swollen fingers to State Government being under financial crunch is the creation of rebel leader when they were in power.
It is true that the State Government is facing acute financial problems, which have been inherited from Neiphiu Rio’s Government, while state is reeling under such conditions N. Rio and G. Kaito group are lavishly spending Crores of rupees, buying party men and women at Sovima rebel camp and Niathu Resort in Dimapur. (UNI)
