TURA, March 5: The brouhaha over non-tribal candidates contesting the ensuing GHADC polls seems to be relentless with the latest one joining the chorus being president of the Mindikgre regional unit of Garo Students’ Union, Greneth M Sangma, who on Friday urged all political parties of Meghalaya to withdraw their non-tribal candidates from the elections.
In a letter to the presidents of various prominent political parties of the state, Greneth recalled the statehood struggle pointing out that the objective was for ‘self rule’ by Garo, Khasi and Jaintia people and not by any other community of the state.
However, he gave the political parties the choice to decide on their own while cautioning that the power of the people could make or break them.
In another incidence, the Niksamso A’chik Society (NAS) from Williamnagar in East Garo Hills has condemned the Congress and the NPP for allotting party tickets to non-tribals in the GHADC polls.
Directing their anger towards Chief Minister Conrad Sangma and Opposition leader Mukul Sangma, the society demanded that the non-tribal candidates of both parties be revoked immediately.
