SHILLONG, June 4: The Meghalaya Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) on Thursday lodged an FIR at Sadar Police Station against a YouTuber for allegedly making defamatory remarks against state Congress president Vincent H. Pala.
A Congress delegation led by legal team chairman Kynpham V. Kharlyngdoh, along with Mahila Congress leaders Joplyn Scott Shylla and Marybel Stafford Nongkhlaw, met East Khasi Hills SP Vivek Syiem and demanded prompt action.
Speaking to reporters, Kharlyngdoh said the complaint was filed against the YouTube channel “Ka Jingshisha – The Truth” and the individual featured in the video, identified in some quarters as “Ronnie Rani”.
He alleged that the video contained derogatory comments against Pala, former Chief Minister Mukul Sangma, and senior leader Sanjay Das, accusing them of weakening the Congress party.
“Such remarks amount to character assassination, especially during the election season when the clear intent is to damage the image of our leaders,” Kharlyngdoh said.
The SP has assured the delegation that the matter will be examined and necessary action taken as per the law.
