The party said it expressed strong faith in the judiciary and hope that justice would be delivered.
Further, the youth wing said NPF party believes in the rule of law for which it was not indulge in commenting on any case which is already in the court of law, which will amount to sub-judice the case.
Women wing

Zeliang towards the Naga issue except those leaders who wants to capture power in the name of Naga issue.

They also reminded Neiphiu Rio that every member of the party including the Women Wing have contributed in strengthening the party and brought the party to power.
“He should not say that he is the only one who brought the party to power, we all have our due share”, Women wing said.
Kohima division
In a separate press release, NPF Kohima Division alleged that Rio’s suspension from the party has not come as a shock since the division was aware of the anti-party activities “ever since he demitted the Chief Minister’s office”.
“The suspension, though delayed, has come as a big relief and we thank the Disciplinary Action Committee and the party President for taking the much-awaited decision to get rid of the ring leaders who have been trying their utmost to de-stabilise the NPF-led DAN Government by Chief Minister TR Zeliang,” it added.
