Kohima, August 10 (MExN): Former Chief Minister and MLA, Dr. Shürhozelie Liezietsu on Thursday stated that the present crisis is just “a temporary setback” while adding that “things will normalize soon”. In this regard, he urged the party leaders to have patience and face the challenges ahead.
Addressing the NPF Mokokchung Division party leaders during the consultative meeting here at Central party office, Dr. Shürhozelie, who is also the president of NPF, said that those who uphold the NPF principles and stand firm with the party were the luckiest leaders. “The party is prepared to face 2018 elections and we will have only strong and truthful leaders with us,” he maintained.
Dr. Shürhozelie also conveyed to the Mokokchung Division party leaders that the party will fill up the vacancies created by the run-away group with the best and trusted leaders so that the party will sail smoothly. The Mokokchung Division delegates were led by its president Moasungba.
He reminded the leaders that the NPF party came into being not just to fight election but that it was built by Naga elders with “tears for the Naga cause to bring amicable and acceptable solution to the protracted Naga Political problem” and that at any cost “we will not allow money and muscle power to ruin the party.”
'Will quit politics if TR whip recognised by Court'
Also speaking on the occasion, MLA Yitachu reminded the party leaders that the dismissal of Dr. Shürhozelie’s Government and TR Zeliang issuing his “unofficial Chief Whip” in the recently concluded Assembly is already in the Court and expressed the hope that the Court would deliver justice soon.
Yitachu also revealed that if “TR Whip” is recognized by the court and he gets disqualified, he will quit politics. However, he said, “God is with us and there is nothing to worry as the truth will always win.”
MLA Vikheho Swu also spoke on the occasion and said that the law may take time to deliver justice but Dr. Shürhozelie’s government will come back to power soon.
