SHILLONG: The Achik National Liberation Army (ANLA) has exposed the alleged double standard of Chief Minister Minister Mukul Sangma by saying that during an interview for the Bangladesh-based news paper Daily Star, the Chief Minister had not mentioned about his parent’s Garo connections.
In a statement issued to the media on Saturday, ANLA self styled chairman Mikkim Achik said that in the interview given to Quazi Sajjad Ali Zahir for the daily star on February 25,2012, the Chief Minister had said,” My mother’s name is Rawshanara Begum, She belonged to a Muslim family in the bordering village of Bongaon in Assam. My father Binoy Bhushan Modok and my mother were students in Cotton College of Guwahati”.
According to ANLA chairman, the Chief Minister says to Bangladesh readers that his father is Binoy Bhushan Modok and in Meghalaya , his father’s name is Binoy Bhushan Marak.
“If the Chief Minister takes his father’s title, he should be Modak or Marak and if he takes the mother’s title , it should be different,” the ANLA leader said, wondering as to how Mukul Sangma got the Sangma title.
