Kohima, April 14 (MExN): The Naga People’s Front (NPF) has suspended sitting MLA from Koridang A/C, Imkong L Imchen, from active and primary membership of the Party with immediate effect until further orders.
This order was passed by the President of the NPF, Dr. Shürhozelie Liezietsu, in exercise of his powers under Article V Section 9 read with Article XIV of the NPF Constitution.
The order also stated that the MLA’s activities in the recent past have been “adversely affecting the fragile nature of the reconciliation process as well as mutilating the hard earned unity within the party.”
To this effect, Imchen had been issued a show-cause notice by the Party in February this year, to which he had responded the same month. As per the NPF, the response lacked ‘effective explanation’ for his activities. The Disciplinary Action Committee of the NPF during its “sitting” held in March last made a recommendation for Imchen’s suspension from the primary and active membership of the Party “after proper application of mind on the matter.”
It led to his eventual suspension for ‘substantively effecting’ the reconciliation within the Party, which is “still under way” in some areas.
