“The same resolutions were reiterated in the party’s consultative meeting on March 30 at the NPF headquarters in Kohima,” the notice further stated.
“You are also currently a CEC member of the NPF and hence it is expected of you to act/vote in consonance with the standing resolutions of the party,” the notice further added.
“Defying party’s resolutions, you voted in favour of CAB on December 12, 2019, in the lower house of the Indian Parliament. Therefore, you are directed to show cause as to why disciplinary action should not be initiated against you,” the notice added.
“You are further directed to submit your reply within 7 from the date of issue of this notice, that is on or before December 26, 2019,” it stated.
