Shillong, May 02: The Congress leaders Mr. Adrian L Chyne Mylliem said that the statement made by the Meghalaya AITC president Charles Pyngrope is bereft of truth and contradicts the stand taken by his own party on gharwapsi. A quick fact-check will reveal that on more than one occasion the AITC has welcomed back its suspended MLAs into the party fold.
The AITC Meghalaya president’s rhetorical outburst calling the MPCC chief Vincent Pala “a confused man” has only exposed his personal lack of understanding of rules and terminologies of legislative procedures.
His inability to decipher between suspension and expulsion makes him cut a sorry figure, especially given the fact that he has held the prestigious position of speaker of the Meghalaya Legislative Assembly.
The five MLAs who have been suspended from the Congress could return anytime. Their suspension order can be revoked as has been done in many instances in the past. It only requires a patch up between these MLAs with their parent party and its leadership.
The Meghalaya AITC president Pyngrope has either willfully forgotten or goes by the ignorance is bliss mantra, to be able to overlook the fact that his own party had reinstated two of its MLAs – Seuli Saha and Dipak Haldar – in 2015.
The two legislators who were suspended for anti-party activities. Not just that earlier in 2003, senior party leader Ajit Panja was brought back to the party by Mamata Banerjee after suspending him for anti-party activities.
“ Mr. Pyngrope should be reminded that, during his termed as Speaker, Shri Adolf Lu Hitler Marak then representing the NCP was suspended but soon after his suspension was withdrawn,”. “What Mr.Pyngrope is doing is to intentionally create confusion in the minds of the people, but little does he realise that people are much smarter than him.”
The Congress leadership of the state has nothing to hide and it has always said that doors are open for those who are willing to return by showing a clear intent to uphold the principles and values of the party.
“People like Pyngrope are highly confused themselves after clear and unlike him and some of his colleagues unadulterated messages have been issued by the MPCC and its leader.” The Congress party is confident that the people will want an alternative to the present dispensation and also to keep out parties like the AITC that have practiced only politics of violence and communal hatred to garner votes.
President of the MPCC Mr. Pala reiterates his belief that congress MLAs who are committed to the people of the state and values of the party would return with an open-mind said MR. Adrian L Chyne Mylliem in the press statement today.
