Impur, June 21 (MExN): A newly appointed team of office bearers of the Naga People’s Front, 23 Impur Assembly Constituency was inducted today at Kobulong by the president of NPF Mokokchung Diision, Moasangba Jamir in the presence of Parliamentary Secretary for Geology and Mining, Dr.Imtiwapang Aier. Before inducting the new office bearers of the NPF 23 Impur AC, the divisional president in his introductory note welcomed all the former Congress party workers and the sitting elected legislator, who won the last election from the constituency on a Congress ticket, and exhorted the party workers to bury their past differences and work together to strengthen the party from the grassroots to the top. After initiating the swearing in of the newly appointed constituency leaders, he urged them to work selflessly for the greater good of the Naga people.
Moasangba also exuded confidence that the NPF will secure all the 10 assembly constituency seats under Mokokchung district in the next general elections if the party workers stood united.
The parliamentary secretary while addressing the party workers expressed appreciation to the NPF for accepting and welcoming former Congress workers. He explained that the former eight Congress legislators decided to merge with NPF “to work together for all Nagas” to help sole the long pending Naga political problem. He said that both the Congress and the NPF in their manifesto promises to work toward solving the Naga political issue and that the eight legislators therefore supported the DAN government on the matter. However, he explained, the Congress party floated suspension of the eight legislators and then later their disqualification. Recalling that the Congress party made a “blunder mistake” during 1998 elections by going against the wishes of the Naga people, Aier stated that the eight former Congress legislators decided “not to repeat the blunder again” and therefore resolved to merge with the NPF.
Saying that the state will be going to elections again in a little more than a year’s time, Aier called upon all NPF workers to unite and work sincerely to secure all 10 seats in the district.
The newly sworn in office bearers of NPF Impur constituency included Takomeren as president, Limawapang, Tekawapang and Maongkaba as vice presidents, Lipoktemsu (Longjang), Masazulu and Lipoktemsu (Mopungchuket) as general secretaries and Shiluyangba and Imtisama as secretaries, with Imkongnukshi as Treasurer.
Earlier, NPF Mokokchung Division president Moasangba Jamir hoisted the NPF flag at the 23 Impur AC NPF Treasurer’s residence.
