SHILLONG: Pro-ILP pressure groups in the State have rejected the State Government’s offer to be part of the Ministerial Committee headed by Forest and Environment Minister Prestone Tynsong to deliberate on the draft Meghalaya Regulation of Landlords and Verification of Tenant Bill, 2013.

“We are surprised that the Government wants us to be part of this Ministerial Committee even though they had failed to respect the recommendations that MUDA is possessing land at Umsawli without any valid document.

Kharshiing claimed that the land documents related to Umsawli area in the possession of MUDA are forged and incomplete.

The arrest of Kharshiing comes a few days after she announced that she would move the Supreme Court against the delay in taking action against those involved in the tampering of mark sheets of eligible candidates for the appointment as Government teachers when the present Urban and Municipal Affairs Minister Ampreen Lyngdoh was the Education Minister.

Moreover, it was on November 7 last year that the CSWO and Meghalaya Right to Information Movement (MRTIM) field an FIR before Laitumkhrah police station to initiate investigation against those involved in the education scam. Police are yet to act on the FIR field by CSWO and MRTIM.

The CSWO chief in her FIR alleged that the CBI report had clearly mentioned that former Education Minister Ampareen Lyngdoh had instructed the then Director of Director Elementary and Mass Education (DEME) JD Sangma and two of her supporters to tamper, forge the score-sheets by applying white fluid “wherever there is need to increase the marks and deduct the marks of the deserving candidates.”
