Nagaland CM Zeliang seeks disqualification of 10 NPF MLAs

Nagaland Chief Minister T.R. Zeliang has filed a composite disqualification petition with the Assembly Speaker against 10 MLAs of the NPF.

In the petition filed on Friday, Mr. Zeliang said these 10 MLAs should be declared disqualified under paragraph 2(1)(b) of the Tenth Schedule as they absented themselves from the emergency session of the Assembly held on July 19, violating the whip of the party. He said the 10 legislators were aware of the session as proper communication was sent to them.
