SHILLONG: The earlier controversy over Union Minister of State and Shillong MP, Vincent H Pala, projecting his friend as a probable candidate from Jirang constituency is yet to die down, but already a fresh controversy has emerged against Pala. This time, the Union Minister of State is in the docks for anti-party activities in Mylliem.
The Mylliem Block Congress Committee (MBCC) has lodged a complaint with AICC president Sonia Gandhi against Pala for indulging in anti-party activities with clandestine support to a candidate from a different political party for the upcoming State Assembly election in 2013.
“The Congress MP is projecting none other than UDP candidate and former KSU general secretary Hamlet Dohling in Mylliem constituency,” MBCC member Alfred Kharkongor said in the complaint addressed to the AICC president.
Kharkongor alleged that Pala, besides financing the former KSU leader, is also going around the constituency with MP scheme channelizing through Dohling.
He also claimed that the duo (Pala and Dohling) was present at recent a function in the constituency despite the fact that the Congress has its own sitting legislator Ronnie V Lyngdoh from the constituency.
“We urge the AICC president to initiate action immediately before the party’s prospects are ruined in Mylliem as well as the rest of the State,” the MBCC member pleaded to the AICC president.
The party workers also attached a picture of a foundation stone laying ceremony at Mawklot recently, which depicts the name of Pala and Dohling, whereas the name of the local legislator was not mentioned. The occasion was the laying of the foundation stone for the construction of Community hall cum training centre at Mawklot, funded by DRDA, SGSY on October 18, 2011.
