Such gimmicks can no longer fool the people these days," NPF leaders said today. "Some politicians who were ministers some twenty years ago are also trying to invest old-fashioned politics in this highly sophisticated era,” the leaders added. “We feel pity for them. We will like to remind them that those cheap politics are no longer relevant these days.”
The NPF leaders also accused some national political parties of trying to attach the regional parties with communal tag. "We will teach them a big lesson when the time is right," asserted the NPF leaders.
