GNLA criticises Ampareen

SHILLONG: The GNLA has come down heavily on Urban Affairs Minister Ampareen Lyngdoh who, according to the outfit, has no moral right to make statements in the so-called interest of Garo Hills, especially Ampati, considering her alleged involvement in the education scam.
Slamming Lyngdoh over the education scam in a statement issued here on Thursday, GNLA publicity secretary Garo Mandei Ch Marak said that the junior officers were made scapegoats in the case.  “The officers had to exit in shame… (but) the Minister remained resolute even when there was massive hue and cry regarding the education scam,” the GNLA said adding that the Chief Minister should immediately act against Lyngdoh.  “We will intensify our bandh call in Ampati. We will not even spare Saturday if people listen to her suggestion and co-operate. There will be bloodshed if people go by the advice of errant politicians,” the GNLA warned.
