Tura, July 19: The A’chik Youth Movement for Betterment of Society (AYMBS) has extended support to the ACHIK and other supporting groups who are currently staging a hunger strike demanding the creation of a Winter Capital in Tura.
“The Winter Capital in Tura is our birthright for which the founding fathers of the Meghalaya state have agreed upon during its creation in 1972. We are not asking anything from our brothers from the Khasi-Jaintia community but merely reminding the government of what was promised to us,” its president Peterjob A Sangma said.

 Meanwhile, reacting to the statement made by NPP spokesperson Ampareen Lyngdoh on the issue, the organization sought clarification on whether it was a party statement or the government or if she had been directed by Chief Minister Conrad Sangma to make it.
