Mukul hails NPP move to withdraw no trust

SHILLONG: Chief Minister Mukul Sangma has hailed the decision of NPP leader James Sangma to withdraw the no confidence motion moved for the removal of the Speaker of the Meghalaya Legislative Assembly.
Earlier, Speaker AT Mondal had also announced in the House about the withdrawal of the resolution.
“Good sense has prevailed. There are many productive discussions which can have a positive outcome,” Sangma told reporters here on Friday after the first day of the winter session.
Maintaining that the proceedings of the House are available in the public domain, Sangma made a clarion call to effectively and productively utilise the three days of the session for larger good of the state.
“We are going to seek our mandate again before the people as respective political parties. We have reasons to tell people why we should have faith in the democratic system and confidence in the leadership of the state. We have leaders from across the political spectrum and people are looking at each one of us. Everyone has the responsibility towards the state and towards the people of the state,” he said.
Asked about the absence of MLAs in the session, Sangma said there is a big recess of four days besides many members reached Shillong very late on Thursday night.
“MLAs are busy auditing in the respective constituencies on the promises made and how far they have achieved,” he said.
