The BCC which was dissolved by the MPCC had not done anything which tantamount to be termed a 'anti-party' activities," a former member of PBCC on condition of anonymity informed here on Monday.
He further said that it is surprising that the MPCC had appointed H Khongtani as the president, since he is not a member of the party.
When asked if they would consider of joining any other party, a former member of the PBCC said that they will decide tomorrow whether they would associate themselves with any other party.
"We would also have to discuss with the sitting local MLA, Prestone Tynsong before taking such a major decision," he added.
Earlier, Congress legislator, Prestone Tynsong said he was not consulted before the party dissolved the PBCC adding that he was told about this development by the Block Congress president, Emlinstone.
It may be mentioned that the MPCC have asked Khongthani to submit the names of new members of the PBCC to the MPCC.
