DIMAPUR, AUGUST 2 (MExN): The Naga People’s Front (NPF) central HQ today suspended Member of Parliament to the Lok Sabha, Neiphiu Rio from primary and active membership of the party.
The suspension order, issued by NPF Working Presidents Huskha Yepthomi and Apong Pongener, and authorized by NPF President, Dr Shurhozelie Liezietsu, said that the Lok Sabha MP has “been involving in anti-party activities by way of associating with the expelled and suspended NPF MLAs even after his earlier suspension order was revoked by the party.”
The order further alleged the Neiphiu Rio has been “directly involved in splitting the NPF legislators for furtherance of his hidden agenda.”
It may be noted that Rio was selected as interim NPF President on July 31 by the NPF Legislature Party that supports Chief Minister TR Zeliang.
