Parliamentary Secretary for Municipal Affairs and Eco & Statistics, R Tohanba, said the NPF Party has its own principles, aims and objectives as laid down in the NPF party’s constitution and that every member of the party, right from the grassroot level to the legislators, are expected to work and function within the framework of the constitution.
The Parliamentary Secretary said any NPF member who violates the party’s principles or go against the spirit of the constitution should face disciplinary action. “Even elected MLAs who work against the principles of the party or not working effectively as per expectations are liable to be questioned,” Tohanba said in his address at the 58th Shamator-Chessore A/C NPF party meeting held on May 20 at Shamator town.
