In March 1975,Nagaland was brought under President's rule and the state assembly was placed under suspended animation. Lotha was a harsh critique of the move. He called it "most undemocratic" and a denial of the constitutional right of the majority party,United Democratic Front,to form the government. He alleged that the Central Government had engineered the toppling of the Vizol Angami government and demanded a parliamentary enquiry. [3]
In 1980,when the Central Government declared Assam as a 'disturbed area' under the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act,Lotha signed a memorandum to the government opposing the move. It stated that the action was "yet another instance of the lack of a correct appraisal" of the problem in Assam,which concerned the whole of Northeast India. [4]
