“As everyone love peace, the tyranny and misleading act of two or three individual should be condemn by all citizens even the state government should react,” he said while adding thar the recent incident that occurred in the Kolkata where surrounded and protest at the Meghalaya house was clear political motive of someone and whoever is responsible for this should be held accountable or else the state government should be held responsible.
