Dimapur Congress rejects president’s appointment

Dimapur, Sep. 29 (EMN): Five Assembly Constituency Congress Committees (ACCCs) and frontal organisations in Dimapur district have expressed displeasure and resentment over the appointment of Tsenthungo Lotha as president of Dimapur District Congress Committee (DCC) and declared his appointment as null and void. This was decided during the meeting of five ACCCs, frontals along with Dimapur district in-charge on September 27 where the members have demanded immediate revocation of the appointment made by the party high officials. This was stated in a press release issued by I Asang, president of 2 Dimapur-II AC. The members have termed the appointment ‘absolute unconstitutional’ as it was done without taking the consent of Dimapur district in-charge, Jonathan, who is also the NPCC vice president, and other senior leaders. The members also alleged that the proposals made by Jonathan along with all party officials and workers were rejected thereby superseding the constitution and senior party workers. While declaring the appointment of Tsenthungo Lotha as null and void, the members stated that they would not allow to function within the office premises until the matter is resolved.
