Dimapur, Jan. 12 (EMN): Following an appeal made by suspended general secretary of the Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee (NPCC) Medokul Sophie to the All India Congress Committee (AICC) against his suspension from the party, the latter has asked the NPCC president to keep his action in abeyance till such time the set procedure for such suspension is followed at NPCC.
In an appeal, Medokul has argued that the suspension was arbitrary as the charges were baseless and unfounded. Medokul also pointed that he was not given an opportunity to explain his side before suspension, adding his case was not endorsed by the NPCC executive committee which is a requirement.
In a letter to NPCC president, AICC secretary Dr. K Jayakumar stated that the appeal made by the affected party has been considered at AICC and found that adequate opportunity was not given to the person concerned to defend himself. He has, therefore, asked the NPCC president to withhold his action in abeyance till such time the set procedure for such suspension is followed at NPCC.
On January 11, NPCC president K Therie has issue suspension order against Medokul Sophie for his alleged hobnobbing with multiple communal parties.
