GUWAHATI: The Voice of the People Party (VPP) in Meghalaya suspended its MLA Adelbert Nongrum for three years for alleged anti-party activities. Earlier, the VPP had issued a show cause notice to Nongrum, the North Shillong MLA, and he gave his reply.In a letter to him, the VPP said his reply was defensive, confrontational and it lacked any sign of regret for actions deemed detrimental to the party’s interests. “Your approach in responding to the show cause notice further indicates a defiance of party discipline and principles, which cannot be overlooked. After due deliberation, the party finds your explanation unsatisfactory,” the VPP said.“You shall cease to hold any position, responsibility, or membership rights within the party. You shall not represent the party in any forum or public platform. You are advised to refrain from any actions that may further tarnish the image of the party,” the letter read.
