Shillong, June 09: Mr Sainkupar Nongtraw General Secretary Cum Publicity Secretary of the band outfit HNLC in the press statement issued today said that, “This is for the information that the recent deadline given by the Harijan panchayat to the municipal and government sounded more like a warning signal. This issue has been cropping up for the last three decades and we have not seen any solution so far”.
The General Secretary of the band outfit is of the view that the government should not soften its stance, as this kind of warning is a warning to the ‘Jaidbynriew’. The Harijan colony as everyone knows, is a den and full of criminal’s drug addict’s thieves etc. No lady dare pass that way especially in the evenings.
Mr Nongtraw pointed out that 70% of the people at them metor are illegal settlers. They are not even the employee of the municipal board. So the rights to stay there do not arise at all. They have given away the houses at rent to many people from outside the state and are enjoying exorbitant rent. They are not at all oppressed, like they had always portrayed.
The General Secretary of the band out fit in the press statement said that, “ The panchayat should remember that we had eliminated Lal Singh years back at the heart of the city because of his character and his crimes”.
The HNLC General Secretary Mr Nongtraw said that the Government of Meghalaya should not pay any heed to the deadline, but it should immediately take action and identify the genuine and the illegal Settlers. When the GOM had identified the land to relocate the people then what is their problem.
“This is not their land. They should be thankful that our people are patient. The interference of the Punjab govt and its politicians time and again should not be entertained. We cannot claim their land in Punjab and they do not have the right to stake claims over our land”. Said Mr Nongtraw.
This is a serious matter, and the CM should take action to bring a solution. They do not have any respect over the people of the state nor the government of Meghalaya. Simply threatening to go to the court, they are trying to bring in communal hatred and tension. Said Sainkupar Nongtraw General Secretary Cum Publicity Secretary of the band outfit HNLC in the press statement issued today.
