It is habitual for the minority NPF group to concoct their own myopic interpretations of various correspondences from the authorities in order to smear the lustrous image of the majority NPF under the leadership of Mr. Neiphiu Rio, Hon’ble President, NPF.
Mr. KG Kenye has admitted his limitations and boundaries which is an unambiguous confession of his follies committed during his wily attempts to discredit the NPF majority group.
To set the record straight, the office of the Deputy Commissioner, through the EAC Dimapur had “redirected” the letter to the concerned authority. In this case, the “concerned authority” refers to the Office of the Commissioner of Police (CP), Dimapur which is the competent authority endowed with certain magisterial powers and therefore, the permission for holding programmes in public places is granted by the said office along with overseeing other arrangements relating to deployment of Police personnel and Traffic Police personnel to say the least.
Therefore, Mr KG Kenye’s wishful assertion that “permission was not granted” because “there is an authority to approve/authorize/sanction the holding of the general convention…that is the NPF central headquarters…” is a fool’s musing woven inside a cocoon by some leaders like Mr KG Kenye who think out loud in public without knowing or understanding certain protocols which have to be followed.
If Mr. KG Kenye’s claim that the “NPF central Headquarters” (minority group) is the authority to allow holding of the General Convention, then perhaps he should explain as to why he did not address his order to the Election Commission of India. The minority group is in the habit of addressing their letters to a wide array of State authorities but strangely not to the ECI for reasons best known to them. The ECI is the competent authority to adjudicate on disputes within a political party and it is suspiciously strange as to why the minority NPF does not write to the ECI. One can only surmise that they know very well what will be the outcome as all their appeals/petitions have been rejected/dismissed by the Hon’ble Courts.
Mr KG Kenye stated that status quo means “things should be maintained as it was earlier”. Whereas, status quo means that things be kept the way as it is at present while status quo ante means the state of affairs that existed previously. The Hon’ble Court Order dated 11/09/2017 clearly mentions in the second last para “In the meanwhile, status quo as on today shall be maintained by the parties” while Mr. KG Kenye’s order dated 12/09/2017 clearly replicated the same as “…has been pleased to order status quo as on date.” Therefore, it is unbecoming that Mr. KG Kenye should lie so blatantly by claiming that his understanding was that “things should be maintained as it was earlier.”
In conclusion, Mr KG Kenye should refrain from misleading the people with half-baked knowledge and misinterpretation of legal parlance which is clearly above the scope of his understanding as confessed by him. The question of his order being only a “request for compliance” is an insult to the intelligence of the people since “requests” are “considered” while “orders” are “complied” with.
