SHILLONG: The disbanded ANVC-B has asserted that the Congress should not play politics against the approved amendment to the Sixth Schedule to the Constitution by the Union Government.
The former leader of the ANVC-B, Bernard Marak said that that they didn’t want the Congress to play politics against the approved amendment as they tried to sabotage the entire Peace pact.
“We first came to ceasefire during NDA rule in 2003 and signed the Peace Pact in 2014 and finally approval of the Sixth Schedule and upgradation of the District Council to the Territorial Council was given in NDA rule,” he said
He also alleged that the Congress never wanted this to come through even as he added that Leader of Opposition, Mukul Sangma should not try to take credit for the amendment as they were cheated many times by his government just to be in power.
“For Congress it has always been their party and their own interest above the people’s aspiration. If it was Congress in Centre and state this would not have happened. Congress is not a solution to the present grievances faced by the public especially in Garo Hills, “ the statement said
