SHILLONG: The HNLC on Thursday came down heavily on former Meghalaya Home Minister R.G. Lyngdoh for his statement against the outfit. Slamming Lyngdoh for his statement, outfit’s publicity secretary Sainkupar Nongtraw said in a statement that he should instead try to find out facts regarding the criminal affiliations of legislators like Ampareen Lyngdoh and Deborah Marak.
Stating that only the State and Central government has the right to talk on the matter because it is based on political grounds, the HNLC said, “Who is RG Lyngdoh to differentiate between freedom fighters and criminals.”
The outfit also alleged that the recent arrest of Sordar of Wahkhen village, Skhembor Khongjirem, was another ploy of the State Government to destabilize the traditional institutions and make way for municipal elections.
