DIMAPUR, JULY 21 (MExN): The Naga People’s Front (NPF) Youth Wing in a show of protest and resentment against the Governor’s recent actions to dismiss the Dr Shurhozelie Liezietsu government held a Beef Feast in Kohima today.
The youth wing also extended a written invite to the Nagaland Governor. “To celebrate your latest political coup, and to mark the severance of ties with your political party the BJP, we are organising a Beef Feast (Your Excellency knows Nagas are voracious meat eaters) this evening and would like to take this opportunity to invite you to cancel some of your not-so-official engagements in political scheming and to come and join us for dinner at the Office Headquarters of the NPF Central Office, Kohima,” stated the snarky invite which was released to the media.
The NPF youth wing alleged that the Governor has been “terribly busy in the last few days breaking all democratic norms playing politics and installing your party BJP-friendly Government in the State.” It lamented that the Governor seems to have forgotten that the office of the Governor should be apolitical and stay away from politics. “Your statements in the local papers justifying,” it said “are most entertaining being so hilarious.” “Your attempts to cloak your political decisions with some semblance of legality are transparent and the nakedness of it all is most repulsive and loathsome,” it added.
It further accused the Governor of turning a “blind eye to a monumental travesty of democracy where a member of the Assembly who is expelled from the NPF for a period of six years has been accepted as the Chief Whip of the very party from which he has been expelled.”
“Your Excellency is aware that Nagas are patient people, but there is a limit to our patience. We are now in a jubilant mood because not only has the NPF severed ties with the BJP for good, you yourself have shown how low you can stoop to achieve your political and religious agenda in the last few days. You now stand exposed…” the NPF youth wing said.
