Shillong, June 13: The People’s Democratic Front (PDF) has decided to lift its suspension order against Mawhati MDC James Sylliang, but yet to take a call on the suspension order against Nongskhen MDC Grace Mary Kharpuri.
This decision was taken at a meeting of PDF’s central working committee (CWC) and the Mawhati Zonal Committee held in the city here on Wednesday.
Sylliang, an MDC of Mawhati constituency, and Kharpuri, MDC of Nongskhen was put under suspension for one year for their alleged anti-party activities after they rebelled against the party’s chairman, PN Syiem, who is also the KHADC chief executive member (CEM).
PDF working president Emlang Lytan told reporters that CWC meeting was held specifically to discuss on the need to lift the suspension order against Sylliang.
“We will take a final call on the matter in the next meeting on June 18 in the presence of party president, I Marbaniang, chairman P.N. Syiem and party leaders from Mawhati which include James Sylliang,†Lytan said.
He however said that the meeting did not discuss regarding the suspension order against Kharpuri.
Earlier, Sylliang, launched a campaign against the KHADC chief for allegedly misusing Rs 28 crore which was sanctioned by the Centre. Sylliang also dissolved the PDF Zonal Committee Mawhati and declared that there will be no more PDF in the constituency.
