Press and Media Bureau (P&MB) of NPF Central has reacted to the NPCC counter rejoinder through a vitriolic attack at the Congress and particularly its party chief K. Therie for criticizing the appointment of Khriehu Liezietsu as Advisor to the chief minister Dr. Sh\u00fcrhozelie Liezietsu. NPF dismissed the NPCC attack of \u201cnepotism\u201d over the appointment of the son (Khriehu) as advisor to the father (CM) after the former resigned from the house to pave way for by election of his father.<\/div>\n
NPF dismissed the NPCC criticism as \u201cinducing humour\u201d that was as \u201chilarious as the political party which has become a joke\u201d. NPF made fun of NPCC\u2019s claim that it was Therie who \u201csingle handedly revived the dying Cock party and propelled it to power in 2003.\u201d That would be like a trying to believe that \u201cwe are blessed with a political Samson in our midst capable of \u201cachieving the impossible\u201d or a Delilah as the party which he (Therie) presently heads\u201d , said NPF.<\/div>\n
Slamming NPCC for saying that the tirades against its leader (Therie) was a payback of \u201cungratefulness\u201d, NPF pointed out that to be \u201cbrutally frank\u201d, Therie, \u201cthe once blue-eyed boy of Mr Jamir\u201d, after being sacked from the Congress ministry in 2002 was again dropped from DAN-I by \u201csome ungrateful people and power mongers\u201d (as per NPCC) mainly because \u201cthis leader\u201d tried to regain power by hook and by crook \u201cwith unscrupulous elements\u201d by trying to backstab \u201chis once bosom buddy, who resigned from the Congress ministry in September 22, 2002.\u201d<\/div>\n
NPF also claimed that having threatened others of his \u201cpopularity, political principles and unwavering commitment, this honourable gentleman\u201d while still in NPF, started hob-nobbing with Congress leaders and exhibited the kind of \u201cpolitical principles and unwavering commitment to the party he belongs to\u201d. NPF said after Therie was forced out of the cabinet, no one missed him till someone pointed out the \u201cabsence of a massive ego in the party.\u201d <\/div>\n
Over the NPCC attack on NPF defence that Khriehu had made \u201csupreme sacrifice\u201d , NPF said it may be alien to the Congress as NPCC found how hollow it was and nothing more could be said about a political party whose presidential candidates resorted to vandalism, arson and exploding of bombs at Congress bhavan (Kohima).<\/div>\n
Further rubbing it in, NPF said there has been no instance of smooth transition of power in NPCC and the most recent being the present incumbent, who, after being made party president, suspended all other senior party leaders from the party.<\/div>\n
NPF said vacating one\u2019s seat did not exist in the Congress a party that strictly adheres to the High Command. It pointed out that when Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiyar visited Congress Bhavan Kohima in early 2000, the then working president got up to offer a seat in deference. Aiyar reportedly admonished the functionary by said that in politics one should never vacate one\u2019s seat for another person.<\/div>\n
However, as far as NPF was concerned, in 1990 sitting MLA K.G. Kenye vacated his Chizami seat for Vamuzo . Again taking on NPCC over use of the word \u201cunmandated\u201d NPF pointed out that former prime ministers P.V. Narasimha Rao and Dr. Manmohan Singh were never considered \u201cunmandated\u201d even if they were sworn-in without being members of parliament.<\/div>\n
In this regard, NPF said whether Congress functionaries at that time had smeared faces with ash or hung their heads in shame when no elected member was found suitable to become prime minister.<\/div>\n
NPF concluded that it was only expected that a party like Congress suffered from selective amnesia because it has been taking people of the country for a ride and believing that people were enjoying the ride.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
