Nagaland Congress opposes advisory committees in Urban Local Bodies

KOHIMA: Congress will strongly oppose the move by the

Naga People's Front

(NPF)-led

DAN government

to set up advisory committees in

Urban Local Bodies

(ULB), said K Therie,

Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee

(NPCC) president. Saying it would be a violation of the Nagaland Municipal Act (NMA) and is against the constitution, Therie said, "If necessary we will go to legal fraternity and judiciary."

The

central executive council

of the NPF had a passed a resolution on Wednesday urging the state government to set up advisory committees in ULBs.

Claiming NPF is headed for crushing defeat in the 2018 polls, Therie said, "The votes of NPF will be divided into three segments - NPF, BJP and DPP."

"Vote Congress to power and we will set up Lokayukta within 100 days," assured Therie.
