Shillong, Dec 01: The Hynñiewtrep Integrated Territorial Organization (HITO) has written to the Union Home Minister mr. Amit Shah urged him to reject the request of the Vice Chancellor of NEHU for additional security personnel.
In the letter HITO mention that It has come to their attention that the Vice Chancellor has sought assistance from the Home Ministry to provide him with security personnel from the Central Armed Forces.
He claims that the security measures currently in place, provided by the Meghalaya State Government, are insufficient for someone of his stature.
HITO wish to express their concerns over this request, which they believe lacks a valid foundation. The Central Armed Forces are entrusted with the vital role of safeguarding our nation’s integrity and should not be diverted for the exclusive use of one individual.
They fear that if Mr. Shukla is granted access to such significant manpower, he may misuse it to exert undue influence over students and faculty members, potentially using these forces to serve his personal agendas. T
he Vice Chancellor has repeatedly demonstrated a tendency toward arrogance and has misused his authoritative position on multiple occasions.
Moreover, it is alarming to note that Mr. Shukla has shown a blatant disregard for the rich traditions and customs of the Hynñiewtrep people.
Shockingly he has openly defied a directive issued by the Mawlai Town Dorbar a body comprising of 17 Dorbar Shnong which has explicitly bannedhis entry into the University campus.
While this directive may seem trivial to him, for the Hynñiewtrep community, such decisions made by the Dorbar or Village Council carry immense significance; they are considered sacred and profoundly respected decisions made by “illigeble” Dorbar Shnong which are the apex decision making body for the Khasi race and is held sacred.
The Vice Chancellor forgets that it was the Mawlai Town Dorbar which has facilitated and provided allotment of Land for the establishment of this Central University, however the actions in this regard represent a grave insult and an open challenge to our community and our way of life, said Mr. Donbok Dkhar President and Mr. Gary S Myrboh Political Secretary in the press statement.
