SHILLONG: NCP president and Laban legislator Sanbor Shullai has not yet submitted his reply to the show cause notice issued by East Khasi Hills Deputy Commissioner and District Election Officer Sanjay Goyal for his alleged violation of the election model code of conduct, despite being asked to submit his reply by January 17 (Thursday).
Goyal on Thursday night informed that Shullai was yet to reply to the show cause notice.
“I have to inform the Election Commission that the concerned person has not responded to the show cause notice,” Goyal said.
The Laban legislator has been accused of violating the code of conduct by distributing utility items like blankets, plastic chairs and tables under the MLA Scheme to beneficiaries of his constituency at Raid Laban College a day after the Election Commission announced the poll date in Meghalaya and enforced the election model code of conduct.
The official also made it clear that they have enough proof that the show cause notice was received by someone in his residence on January 14 and accordingly three days’ time was given to the legislator to respond to the notice.
