Suspension Order for 7 MLAs : NPF Nagaland
Date : 16th April 2019 , Kohima

SUSPENSION ORDER

WHEREAS, the Disciplinary Action Committee (DAC) of the Naga People’s Front (NPF) after meticulously examining your reply to the Show Cause Notice dated 01.04.2019 and after proper application of mind, recommended for Suspension of your Membership from the Party.

WHEREAS, in your reply, you have unambiguously admitted what has been set out in the Show Cause Notice dated 26.03.2019.

WHEREAS, in your reply to the Show Cause Notice, you have reiterated your stand to take side with the political opponent of the NPF in the Lok Sabha Election 2019. This attitude on your part is nothing short of willfully defying the collective decision of the party to support a particular political party/candidate for the lone Nagaland Parliamentary Constituency in the 17th Parliamentary (Lok Sabha) Election, which is sufficient to infer that your decisions and movements are all anti-party activities.

WHEREAS, in your reply, you have demanded to withdraw the Show Cause Notice served upon you rather than expressing your remorse for not being able to adhere to the Party’s collective decision and directive. Such attitude on your part factually demonstrates that you have some hidden agenda to further disintegrate the party which cannot be overlooked.

WHEREAS, the party had convened Consultative Meeting comprising of All NPF MLAs/All COBs/All CEC Members/All Central Frontals & Cell Office Bearers/All Divisional Presidents, Working Presidents & General Secretary on 30.03.2019 at NPF Central Office. This meeting was indeed an opportunity to explain your position to the party. However, you have intentionally refused to attend the consultative meeting which is nothing short of forfeiting your right to talk of inner party democracy and voluntarily giving up your membership from the NPF.

WHEREAS, inspite of serving Show Cause Notice to you by the Party, you have been willfully ignoring and avoiding the NPF Legislature meetings since 25.03.2019 without valid reasons which is another proof of voluntarily giving up your membership from the NPF as you have been stopping yourself from participating in any meetings of the NPF ever since you openly associated yourself with the political opponent of the NPF.

WHEREAS, even after serving Show Cause Notice to you by the Party, you continuously associated yourself with the PDA Government and the NDPP Candidate for the lone Nagaland Parliamentary Constituency which is a clear proof beyond reasonable doubt that your conduct amounts to voluntarily giving up the Membership of the NPF which cannot be condoned.

WHEREAS, the NPF Central Office has received a post election report that you have wholeheartedly supported and voted in-favour of the NDPP Candidate in the Lok Sabha Election 2019 which is an act of total defiance of the Party’s decision.

NOW THEREFORE, in pursuance to the recommendation of the DAC and in exercise of the power conferred on me as the President of the NPF by Clause 9 of Article-V read with Article XIV of the Constitution of the Naga People’s Front, you are hereby suspended from both Primary and Active Membership of the NPF, with immediate effect and until further orders. However, you will be bound by the Whip of the Naga People’s Front on the floor of the Nagaland Legislative Assembly as per the existing law and judicial decisions of the Hon’ble Apex Court.
