SHILLONG: In an indication that all is not well within the Congress-led MUA-II Government some parliamentary secretaries have raised their voice against ‘big wigs’ in the government by claiming that they were being ‘sidelined’.
Sources, who did not wish to be identified, revealed that parliamentary secretaries were not given any work and most of them were being kept out of the government businesses.
The cabinet ministers have also completely sidelined the parliamentary secretaries, the sources claimed.
The sources further revealed that the matter had been taken up with the Chief Minister but to no avail.
If the sources are to be believed, a group of disgruntled parliamentary secretaries would meet shortly to discuss the matter and decide the course of action to be taken.
It may be recalled that some parliamentary secretaries had lodged a complaint with Meghalaya Pradesh Congress Committee president D.D. Lapang over the inaccessibility of the chief minister due to his long periods of absence.
It may be noted that the Congress-led MUA-II Government has appointed a total of 18 parliamentary secretaries.
