SHILLONG: The FKJGP has demanded the resignation of Agatha Sangma for ‘betraying the cause of the people of Meghalaya in general and people of Garo Hills in particular not to mention her party’s own ideologue’.
In a statement, the group said her judgement and stance on the CAB cannot be rationalized by the people of the state and her statement can only be construed as ‘ill-conceived, immature and reckless at best’.
The group has also accused Agatha of acting as a ‘lone ranger’ rather than as a Member of Parliament as she did not conducted a meeting with any organization or union before making the call.
‘As an MP, it was her duty to consult the electorate and all concerned parties before making any calls on highly contentious issues such as the CAB, however, regrettably she did none. Perhaps it is because of the absence of responsible actions on her behalf that an ex-legislator called her ‘Nillmoni’. However, for being a negative asset to the state and the entire North East, she should rather be termed as ‘Minusmoni’, said the FKJGP.
‘The NPP has been spearheading the campaign against the CAB not only in Meghalaya but the whole North East promising the electorate that it will fight against the Bill tooth and nail and even went to the extent of claiming that it will sever its ties with the NDA if the mandate of the people are bulldozed over. We the FKJGP are perplexed how Mrs Agatha Sangma acted hostile against the ideologue of her own party, which brings us to the question, Will the State and National leadership of the NPP take disciplinary action against Mrs Agatha Sangma? Or will she be let scot free, given that she also happens to be the younger sister of the NPP National President. The NPP has talked the talked and now it’s time to walk the walk. Their leadership should expel her from its membership for betraying the sentiments and trust of both the electorate and citizens of Meghalaya else, everything the NPP has promised in the past will be seen as nothing but a series of white lies,’ said the statement.
The group also asked Agatha to step down as the Member of Parliament representing Tura Constituency and the people of Garo Hills.
The FKJGP also reiterated that they will oppose CAB and further demonstrate our opposition to this biased bill until it is scrapped.
